Standard Training
The Commission provides free, public training sessions multiple times per year that are reflective of the Commission’s mandate, regular planning cycle and strategic priorities. The Commission strives to provide trainings on a variety of human rights topics and formats (i.e. in-person, virtual) each year.
Please contact the Commission or visit the Commission’s News & Events tab for information on upcoming trainings and registration.
Tailored Training
The Commission provides Tailored Trainings that vary in type, timing, or content from Standard Training at the request of a specific organization and tailored to relevant learning requirements. This may also include curriculum development for specific industry needs, settlement-mandated training, or sessions targeting specific human rights topics.
The Commission operates a cost-recovery-model for Tailored Training. Contact us if cost is a barrier.

Towards a Yukon Without Workplace Sexual Harassment
The Commission partnered with the Government of Canada on the Towards a Yukon Without Workplace Sexual Harassment five-year project between 2019-2024. The initiative aimed to address and eliminate workplace sexual harassment in Yukon. Find out more about A Yukon Without Workplace Sexual Harassment.
General Inquiries
Yukon Human Rights Commission staff can provide you with information in response to a specific issue or a general inquiry. For example, staff consult with employers and groups on methods to foster an environment of equality and to reduce discrimination. If the Commission is unable to help, staff will direct you to other service providers, educators or agencies that offer relevant programs and services.
Dates significant to human rights and diversity
The Yukon Human Rights Commission specifically recognizes International Human Rights Day (December 10), and the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (March 21).
The United Nations (UN) designates international days to focus the world on the issues in which the UN has an interest and commitment. Plan or attend events that recognize and celebrate these dates.
