Unofficial results from Monday's election show that Yukoners in a majority of ridings were largely satisfied with what they had before the vote and yet the next legislative assembly will be very different.
The riding is held by Liberal cabinet minister Richard Mostyn.
“As a struggling single parent for many years, I came to the Yukon because it promised a better life for my family,” Drainville said today.
“Yukon gave us the opportunity to thrive, and I am eager to give back to the territory and my community by serving as a progressive and compassionate voice for hard-working Yukoners in the legislative assembly.”
Drainville has decades of experience in culture and tourism, along with a career in occupational health and safety.
She works with both the private and public sectors as the general manager of Outcrop Yukon and as an occupational health and safety educator at the Northern Safety Network.
