Wayne Jim

Wayne Jim (February 24, 1961 – November 28, 2018) was a Canadian politician who represented the electoral district of McIntyre-Takhini in the Yukon Legislative Assembly from April 2000 to November 2002.

Jim was elected as a member of the Yukon Liberal Party in the 2000 election, unexpectedly defeating the Yukon NDP and Yukon Government Leader Piers McDonald.

In 2002, Jim was dismissed from the post, and subsequently became one of three MLAs, along with Mike McLarnon and Don Roberts, who resigned or were dismissed from the Liberal caucus led by Premier Duncan, reducing Duncan's government to a minority. With a minority government, Duncan called an early election in 2002. Jim ran as an independent candidate, but came fourth to Yukon Party candidate John Edzerza.
