YukonDB: almost certainly not the Yukon you're thinking of - https://yukon.supermap.io/ - an addition to spatial Postgres that extends 3D handling(?) Anyway, it uses the words #Yukon and #GIS together so I can't *not* post about it 
"There are now at least 173 underpasses and overpasses that are dedicated for #wildlife to get safely across roads.
"There’s three more that are under construction right now and there are 47 that have been committed to by various governments.
"So, we’re getting to this place where consideration of wildlife getting across roads is just a normal part of what we do. That’s super exciting."

Yukon gov't promises new strategy this fall to measure student outcomes
The Yukon's education department says it's going to roll out a student outcome strategy in September, six years after the auditor general of Canada told the territory it needed one.

And if you're wondering, yes there is good charging ability all the way through BC now and into Yukon as far as Dawson City. AFter that, on the Dempster Highway, it would only be two more stops to Tuk, all would require slow-charging on a standard 120V plug (24-48hrs) but hey, it'd just be part of the experience :)
Maybe by the time I get up there they'll have some L2 (240V) chargers to cut the wait time down to just overnight.
Won't be happening in the next few years... but one day, I will do this road trip! (YES in the EV of course)
Damn! that's pretty brutal (37 seconds) https://youtu.be/WPzLs31fE_8?si=FrYin003bpLnv9Kx
@GottaLaff In the #Yukon, the #Conservative Party excluded #journalists from witnessing the #election of their candidate. How can we #trust these people?
Alaska legislature resolution recognizing Canada’s sovereignty
https://www.yukon-news.com/news/yukon-premier-testifies-on-alaska-legislature-resolution-recognizing-canadas-sovereignty-7884535
Alaska "recognizes that relationships matter and are far more important than maybe the almighty dollar at times, and we have to stand up for that and recognize that the longest partner that Alaska has ever had and will ever have in the future has been our partnership with the nation of Canada, and we are speaking to that relationship, because keeping our partnership with Canada strong isn't just good policy, it's essential to the Alaskan way of life and to who we are as a people”
Committee passed. Next: 2nd reading & debate
