12 May Yukon First Nations Lead National Conversation on Arctic Security and Defence
The Yukon First Nations Defence and Security Industries Conference, hosted by the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Yukon Region and Yukon First Nations Chamber of Commerce, took place on April 22 and 23, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in northern defence collaboration, economic development, and Indigenous leadership in the Arctic.
The two-day event brought together First Nation governments and development corporations, defence industries representatives, Canadian Armed Forces personnel, and representatives from the federal and territorial governments. It provided a platform for meaningful dialogue, knowledge exchange, and partnership building at a time when Arctic defence and security are increasingly vital to Canada’s national priorities.
