Yukon amends oath requirement, allowing councillors to swear to the Constitution instead of the King.

Yukon has amended its Municipal Act to allow elected councillors to swear an oath to the Canadian Constitution instead of to King Charles. This change comes after Dawson City councillors refused to take the oath due to the Crown's history with First Nations. Yukon is now the third Canadian region to offer this alternative, aiming to respect indigenous perspectives while upholding governance requirements.
