Yvonne Clarke is a proud parent, entrepreneur, and dedicated member of the Yukon-Filipina community and was elected in the 2021 Territorial Election to represent the growing riding of Porter Creek Centre.

She is the Official Opposition critic for the Yukon Housing Corporation - Market Housing, Housing and Lot Development - Whitehorse, Women and Gender Equity Directorate, and French Language Services Directorate.

Having moved to the Yukon nearly thirty years ago, her wide-ranging professional background spans public service to small business ownership and extensive volunteer roles. A multilingual mother of three adult children, she wants to use her experience in areas relating to poverty, education, health, human rights, the economy, and violence against women to give back to the territory.

Her experience includes serving over 12 years as a board member of the Yukon Learn Society, where she helped adults improve their literacy, numeracy, and computer skills. She is also a former board member of the Yukon Public Legal Education Association, where she co-authored the third edition of “Splitting Up,” a resource for women involved in family breakdowns.

Clarke has also served as the Yukon Advisory Council on Women’s Issues Chair, advancing the legal, social, and economic equality of Yukon women, and sat as a Yukon representative on the RCMP Commissioner’s Diversity Advisory Committee.

Of all her many roles in the community, she is perhaps best recognized for her leadership with the Canadian-Filipino Society of the Yukon. She served many years as president and provided advice and guidance on integrating immigrants into mainstream Canadian culture.
