The Yukon Geological Survey (YGS) provides the geoscience information required for resource and land management for the benefit of all Yukoners. As this information can be highly complex and technical, public outreach and education is necessary in order to make this information accessible and meaningful.
In 2019, the YGS reached out to almost 2000 individuals from across Yukon. The majority of individuals were students, but we also met with members of the public and with First Nation citizens. While the author is the lead on most outreach activities, YGS staff also participate in public lectures, interpretive hikes and other outreach initiatives.
This paper provides a summary of outreach and education activities for 2019.
