Canada’s premiers will gather in Whitehorse in 2016 for the 57th annual Council of the Federation meeting, the Yukon government announced last week.
“The opportunity to chair the Council of the Federation is a significant and historic achievement,” Premier Darrell Pasloski said in a news release. “I have great confidence that Yukon is ready for the considerable duties and responsibilities of this national leadership role.”
It will be the first time a territory has hosted the event.
