In her 1st official visit to Yukon, Simon spoke about addressing mental health needs

A three-day visit to Yukon for Gov. Gen. Mary Simon began at the Carcross/Tagish First Nation’s Haa Shagóon Hídi cultural centre on Sunday.

Simon — who is visiting the territory with the purpose of strengthening relationships while focusing on reconciliation, mental health and the opioid crisis — spoke with Yukon First Nation elders, youth and leaders about the difficulties the community has faced recently in terms of mental health and drug-related deaths.

“It’s really important for me to connect to Indigenous communities,” said Simon, who wants to address both the challenges and positive remarks in communities.
