Celebrating 50 Years of the AYC

Welcome to Municipal Affairs.

Last month, we travelled to Haines Junction, Yukon, to take part in a major milestone — the 50th anniversary of the Association of Yukon Communities.

Over three days, more than 150 delegates from across the territory came together to share stories, tackle challenges, and find common ground on the issues that matter most to their communities.

After the convention wrapped up, we had a chance to sit down with the President of AYC, Lauren Hancher - Mayor of Watson Lake, to reflect on the significance of this 50th anniversary, talk about what’s next for the association, and look ahead to the future path for Yukon’s municipalities. We also took a moment to speak with host community Mayor Diane Strand of Haines Junction about having the event in Haines Junction and what it meant for her community to host leaders from across the territory.
