The Association franco-yukonnaise is inviting people in Dawson City, Yukon, to share their thoughts on a new Francophone campus on March 26, 2026. This meeting will help organizers understand what specific training and learning formats the local community needs for their future education.

This event will be held at the Yukon University Dawson City campus. It is the final stop on a three-day tour that also included visits to Whitehorse and Haines Junction to gather ideas from across the territory.

Local businesses, non-profit groups, and cultural organizations are encouraged to participate in workshops to help shape the project. The Government of Yukon and the Government of Canada have previously supported efforts to grow services for French speakers in the region.

The consultation is open to the public and will include a buffet for those who attend; however, registration is required in advance. The information gathered during the session will be used to help define a model for the future campus that fits the needs of local residents.
