Yukon Registered Nurses Association

YRNA is concerned that the Yukon Government's intention to move away from independent regulation of health professions will harm patient safety, cultural safety and our commitment to reconciliation. Click on this link to learn more about this issue and what the YRNA is doing to ensure that patient safety, cultural safety and public protection remain the sole focus when regulating healthcare professions. 

Our Commitment to Cultural Safety and Humility


Systemic racism is an element of colonial policies, with far-reaching adverse impacts to this day.  YRNA recognizes the ongoing adverse effects, and prevalence of racism within society and our healthcare system.

We are dedicated to refocusing our privilege towards reconciliation, humility, recognition of harms, and reduction of those harms. We strive for a culturally safe and inclusive future for all. 

Attempting to get there alone risks perpetuating harms. We will seek wisdom and guidance from those who have been affected so that we can learn and grow. Together, we will develop a safe and welcome space within YRNA. 

A wise proverb teaches us: If we want to go quickly, we go alone, if we want to go far, we go together.  We look to go far!
