As a partner in the worldwide Anglican Communion and in the universal Church, we proclaim and celebrate the gospel of Jesus Christ in worship and action. We are a mission diocese within the Anglican Church of Canada. Founded in 1891 as the Diocese of Selkirk, and changed to the Diocese of Yukon in 1907. As a mission diocese, we are members of the Council of the North, which is a grouping of financially assisted dioceses, supported through grants by General Synod and the generosity of donors. We minister with, and among, 13 parishes throughout the communities of Yukon and Northern BC. This includes Old Crow, Keno, Mayo, Dawson City, Pelly Crossing, Haines Junction, Faro, Ross River, Whitehorse, Teslin, Watson Lake, Atlin, Telegraph Creek, Dease Lake, and Fort Nelson. We acknowledge that we live and work on the traditional territories of the 14 Yukon First Nations and the First Nations of Northern British Columbia and we give thanks for their generous welcome. more...
