Ted, 39, is the father of two small children and is deeply invested in the future of the Yukon and its success.

Having grown up in Dawson City, he is committed to helping ensure that his kids, and all Yukon children, have access to the same opportunities he had growing up in the territory.

“Life is significantly more expensive than it was for my parents, and I cannot sit on the sidelines without trying to do everything possible to ensure we have a strong voice in Ottawa so that Yukoners' concerns are heard and addressed.” - Ted Laking

Ted has spent the past three years on Whitehorse City Council advocating for affordability, government accountability, transparency for taxpayers and public safety.

Until this spring, he was the President of the Association of Yukon Communities.

His previous experience includes serving as Yukon Party Chief of Staff and Director of Communications for the federal Minister of Environment; providing him with a wealth of knowledge and experience within both the regional and national government landscapes.

“The Yukon has only one voice in the House of Commons and as the Yukon's next Member of Parliament, I will ensure we are focused on projects and initiatives that provide real and meaningful benefits to the territory.” - Ted Laking
