Location: Vancouver, B.C.
Department: Energy Mines and Resources
Purpose of the trip
Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources John Streicker travelled to Vancouver, B.C., on January 4 to 5, 2024 for meetings with the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson about mining and critical minerals in the Yukon alongside Yukon MP Brendan Hanley. Discussions focused on the possibility of a grid interconnection between the Yukon and British Columbia. This is an ambitious concept and, if pursued, could help provide a solution to the Yukon’s long-term energy needs and help mining companies meet their emissions-reduction goals. A grid interconnection would be a tremendous opportunity for shared growth and prosperity and for northern energy security which is critical to Canada’s Arctic sovereignty.
