Yukon First is a local-first initiative designed to empower Yukoners to make a difference in their community by choosing to support locally owned businesses within the territory before looking elsewhere. By prioritizing local businesses, we can keep money circulating in the economy, build stronger connections within communities – and between communities – and help small businesses thrive.
Yukon First is more than just an initiative—it’s a movement that belongs to everyone in the Yukon. Whether you’re a business owner or a customer, you can help shape a positive future for the local economy by choosing to support Yukon First.
“Together, we can make a difference—one purchase, one business, one connection at a time.”
Why Yukon First Matters
When you spend money locally, you’re not just making a purchase—you’re supporting your neighbours, investing in your community, and helping create jobs right here in the Yukon. Every dollar you spend at a local business has a ripple effect, benefiting other local businesses, employees, and families all across the Yukon.
Yukon First is here to shine a light on how powerful that choice can be. By committing to shop within the Yukon whenever possible, we’re all helping to build a more resilient and vibrant local economy that reflects the diversity and strength of the Yukon.
