Community Affairs works directly with municipalities to provide advice and assistance on a variety of matters, including statutory obligations, interpretation of legislation, council/administration roles and relationships, administration of elections, and other community related matters.
The branch maintains a close relationship with the Association of Yukon Communities. The branch is responsible for the ongoing operation of the Yukon Municipal Board and supports its role in municipal initiatives such as boundary changes and official community plans.
All municipal governments are incorporated and any other community that is not is unincorporated.
There are 8 Incorporated Municipalities in the Yukon (see below). There is a process in the Municipal Act that identifies how a community could become a municipality. The ultimate tool that is used at the end of the process is an Order In Council.
Local Advisory Councils represent unincorporated areas in the Yukon by giving advice on their local area needs to the Minister of Community Services. There are five local advisory councils (see below). There is a process set out in the Municipal Act that identifies how an area could become a Local Advisory Area.
