Health and wellness

In November 2018, an Independent Expert Panel was appointed to conduct a review of Yukon’s health and social services systems. The panel is made up of Yukoners and health systems experts from outside the territory.

Working together, we have to figure out how we can better allocate our existing resources (people and money), improve services, make things more efficient and find creative solutions to meet our needs today and tomorrow. To do that, the panel needs to hear from Yukoners about their experiences using our health and social services system.

The Smoke-Free Places Act was last modified 10 years ago before the rise in popularity of vaping. We want to hear from Yukoners about how vaping and vapour products should be regulated in the territory. Additionally, we are interested in your feedback about raising the minimum legal age to access tobacco and vapour products. An updated Act will reflect best practices, meet modern-day realities and future needs.
