Currie Dixon

Currie Dixon (born September 2, 1985) is a Canadian politician who has served as the 12th premier of Yukon since 2025 and the leader of the Yukon Party since 2020. The MLA for Copperbelt North since 2021, he previously served as the Leader of the Opposition in Yukon. Dixon was a cabinet minister in the government of Darrell Pasloski and previously represented Copperbelt North as an MLA from 2011 to 2016. Dixon is the first premier to be born in the territory.

Early life Currie Dixon was born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon. Dixon holds an undergraduate degree in political science and history from Saint Francis Xavier University, graduating in 2008. He also obtained a graduate degree in political science from the University of Northern British Columbia in 2011, focusing on the relationship between the Yukon and First Nations governments in the area of education. He is the youngest cabinet minister in Yukon history and among the youngest in Canadian history.

On December 5, 2019, Dixon announced that he would run in the Yukon Party leadership election, which was to be held on May 23, 2020. He was elected as leader of the Yukon Party on May 23, 2020, replacing Darrell Pasloski, who resigned in November 2016, and interim leader Stacey Hassard; he defeated opponents Linda Benoit and Brad Cathers in two ballots. However, premier Sandy Silver's incumbent Liberals were sworn in with a minority government, since the NDP announced that they had entered into a formal confidence and supply agreement with the government. Following the election, Dixon became the Leader of the Official Opposition, as well as the critic for the executive council office, the Yukon Liquor Corporation, the Yukon Lottery Corporation, the Yukon Cannabis Corporation, early learning and child care, and the 2027 Canada Winter Games.

Premier (2025–present) Dixon led his party to a majority government in the 2025 Yukon general election, and was appointed premier on November 22. On the electoral reform plebiscite, Dixon reiterated his party's stance that changes to Yukon's electoral system should have to go through a referendum, while expressing his preference for first-past-the-post. As premier, Dixon also serves as the Minister of Finance and the Executive Council Office.
