Justin Ferbey

As the Deputy Minister of Economic Development for the Yukon Government, Justin Ferbey brings a vision with a lasting impact. His leadership on the Single Track to Success initiative transformed the local economy of Carcross, Yukon by turning it into a destination spot for avid mountain bikers. The project also brought First Nations youth back to the land, generating lasting difference in the lives of those involved. Justin’s expertise was also called upon to lead the ratification process for the Carcross/Tagish First Nation community, who was seeking to enter self-governance. With Justin’s guidance, a modern treaty was reached, ending an over 30-year negotiation period. Justin’s leadership within the Yukon Government and the communities there has been truly transformational.
