The Yukon NGO HUB

03/10/2026

Thank you to everyone who joined us for last week’s LawForNonProfits:Yukon “Lunch n’ Launch” event – it was inspiring to see so many Yukon non-profit and charity leaders, staff, and board members in the room, asking great questions and “test-driving” the new platform together.

A special thank you to Martha Rans, KC for joining us in person and presenting the new website as the creator of Law for Non-Profits and a key partner to Yukon NGO Hub in bringing the Yukon version of the site to fruition.

Huge thanks as well to The Yukon Law Foundation and to the Labour Market Development Branch within the Department of Economic Development for supporting the Yukon NGO Hub and everyone working behind the scenes to make this happen.

We’re just getting started. Keep an eye out for future events and trainings that will continue to support Yukon’s non-profit sector with practical tools, learning opportunities, and connections.

Yukon non-profits and charities: imagine having a free, easy-to-use legal toolkit at your fingertips – built just for organizations like yours. That’s what the new Yukon edition of Law for Nonprofits is all about.

Developed by PLEO (Pacific Legal Education & Outreach), Law for Nonprofits is an online platform that helps boards, EDs, and staff understand and prevent legal problems before they become crises. The Yukon version adapts this tool for our local context, so organizations across the territory can get clear answers to common legal questions.

Some of what the platform offers:
• Interactive Legal Help Guides that ask you a few questions and then flag urgent issues in red and less urgent ones in yellow, with immediate, practical next steps.
• Modules on key areas of law for non-profits, including the Societies Act, record keeping, privacy, and employment.
• Plain-language resources like fact sheets, FAQs, and sample documents (for example, a sample privacy policy) to help you put good practices in place.
• A user-friendly, low-barrier design, so you don’t need a legal background to find and understand what you need.
• And best of all, it’s free and publicly available.

We’re celebrating the launch of the Yukon edition with a free “Lunch n’ Launch” event in Whitehorse where Martha Rans, KC will demo the platform, walk through real examples, and answer your questions. You’re encouraged to bring your laptop and “test drive” the site for your own organization.

📅 Thursday, March 5
🕛 12:00–3:00 p.m. (lunch at 12:00; presentation and Q&A approx. 1:00–3:00)
📍 Town Hall meeting space, Best Western Goldrush Inn, Whitehorse
👉 Please RSVP by Monday, March 2 so we can plan for seating and lunch: https://forms.gle/vEnKtp9kKy4vvV1D9

Please share this with staff, volunteers, and board members from Yukon NGOs who could benefit from clearer, more accessible legal information.
