On behalf of the Yukon Employees’ Union, we are thrilled to recognize your commitment to your community and your union by awarding you one of this year’s bursaries.

We deeply appreciate not only your application but also the solidarity and dedication you bring to our union family. Whether you live in Whitehorse or in one of our remote Yukon communities, your involvement is what makes us strong.

We want to emphasize how important it is to keep having those conversations in the workplace, talking to your coworkers about the union, organizing petitions, engaging in workplace actions, becoming a health and safety rep. having discussions with management etc. That’s where the work really starts and how we build a fairer working environment together

Solidarity is more crucial than ever in this era of precarious work, rapid technological change, and shifting political climates. By staying involved, attending union meetings, becoming a committee representative, and keeping those lines of communication open, you help show everyone that the union is an integral part of securing fair working conditions.

Recipients of the 2025 bursary are not eligible to apply for this bursary again for one calendar year.

You are eligible to apply for the 2027 bursary competitions.

You will receive a cheque in the upcoming weeks.
