How to Apply
Air North, Yukon’s Airline asks that requests through this program be made by email. However, due to the large number of requests received, they are not able to support all the organizations who get in touch.
Sport Yukon encourages our member organizations to think strategically and where possible try to submit a single proposal encompassing their requests for the entire season/year. This helps Air North in their planning and budgeting and helps sport organizations in communicating the scope of their sponsorship needs.
Sport Yukon staff can assist in the planning and preparation of sponsorship asks through the Spirit in Action program.
