Sponsor Feature: Yukon Energy Proud Sponsor of Volunteer Program

March 9, 2026

Yukon Energy is proud to be the Volunteer Sponsor for the 2026 Arctic Winter Games. As a Yukon-based utility, we understand the power of people working together toward a shared goal. Just as our employees work hard every day to keep the lights on across the territory, volunteers are essential to keeping the Games running smoothly by supporting athletes, welcoming guests, and creating a safe, memorable experience for everyone involved.

At Yukon Energy, our mission is to provide Yukoners with reliable electricity while supporting the communities we serve. That mission is rooted in strong values: safety, respect, integrity, and collaboration. These same values are reflected in the volunteer spirit of the Arctic Winter Games, where individuals step forward to contribute their time, skills, and energy for the benefit of others.

Looking ahead, Yukon Energy’s Road Map to 2050 outlines a vision for a thriving, healthy, and prosperous Yukon. It’s a future where a robust, reliable and resilient electricity system powers homes, businesses, and daily life, as well as supports economic opportunity, strengthens Arctic security, and advances meaningful reconciliation with First Nations. Like the Arctic Winter Games, this vision depends on strong partnerships, innovation, and collaboration.

Volunteering at the 2026 Arctic Winter Games is more than helping run an international sporting event—it’s about contributing to a legacy of connection, cultural exchange, and northern pride. Yukon Energy is honoured to support the volunteers who are helping to bring the 2026 Arctic Winter Games to life. To all of the volunteers—your commitment reflects the very best of the North, and we are proud to stand alongside you as you help power an unforgettable Games.
