Relations with the State of Alaska 

We share cultures, history, geography and climate.

Our residents routinely cross the border to conduct business, to visit family and friends, to shop for good and services, and for recreation.

The Alaska and Yukon governments work in partnership wherever possible to develop our economies, to protect the environment, and to provide efficient public services.

The Alaska-Yukon Accord.
