CTFN, YK sign government-to-government accord

Carcross/Tagish First Nation (CTFN) and the Government of Yukon have signed a government-to-government accord that outlines several shared priorities, including education. The agreement is in effect for a five-year term and YK Premier Mike Pemberton and CTFN Chief Maria Benoit have committed to meeting on at least an annual basis to discuss progress on the accord. Officials will co-develop and implement an action plan for the shared priorities. “This accord has taken a lot of work from both sides and we are looking forward to our current initiatives and future engagements,” said Benoit.
