WHEREAS, the family is the single most important factor in maintaining social and economic stability in our society; and

WHEREAS, Yukon is proud of its strong family traditions and of its commitment to their continued strength; and

WHEREAS, the family, whether traditional or challenged by special circumstances, provides the foundation for a positive future for parents, children and community; and

WHEREAS, society and all social institutions have a direct or indirect impact on the unity, well-being, health and stability of the family; and

WHEREAS, through the resources and efforts of its agencies and organizations the community can provide a family-friendly environment; and

WHEREAS, the foundation of the family is strengthened when family members share time together; and

WHEREAS, we are pleased to proclaim our support for families, recognizing that at a time in history when families are subject to negative forces that could destroy or marginalize them, the well-being of society is intimately tied to the strength of the family;

THEREFORE, I Doug Phillips, Commissioner of Yukon, do hereby proclaim the period of October 6, 2014 to October 12, 2014 to be “NATIONAL FAMILY WEEK” in Yukon.
