“They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.”

Lest we forget.

We remember those deployed in conflicts far from home, those stationed on peacekeeping missions, those who step forward during natural disasters, and the families who carry the weight of their absence.

Today, we pause not only to mark 80 years since the end of World War II, but to honour all who have served, and continue to serve.

Congratulations once again to everyone who contributed to this election. The work continues — and I look forward to what we can accomplish together.

Through respect, collaboration, and a deep commitment to community, I believe we can build a future where all Yukoners have the opportunity to succeed.

Thank you to Mike Pemberton for his service as Premier. I also want to recognize and thank every candidate who put their name forward in this election. Running for public office takes courage, and your commitment to listening to Yukoners and speaking up for your communities is commendable.

We may at times hold different perspectives and priorities, yet this shared goal will always remain the same.

Whether stepping into the role for the first time or returning to serve once again, I look forward to working with each of you in serving the people of the Yukon and helping our territory thrive.

Congratulations are also in order to all newly elected Yukon MLAs in last night’s territorial election.

We will remember. We will honour. We will never forget the brave souls who gave everything for our freedom. Their sacrifice lives on in our hearts, in our history, and in our unwavering commitment to remembrance.
 
Lest We Forget.
