Yukon remains only place in Canada where residents have no legal right to access municipal records and the Municipal Act need to be amended to today's standards

“Municipal governments that rely on property taxes and territorial/federal funding still have to be accountable, especially when there is significant debt. In Yukon municipalities, there is a distinct split between the municipality itself and the municipal corporation, with different governance and responsibilities. Council and the mayor do not control the day-to-day corporate functions; those are effectively directed through senior administration and corporate management.

Taxpayers have a right to meaningful transparency about how public funds are used, how decisions are made, and how financial risks—particularly debt, are being managed. When a municipality refuses or delays access to records that taxpayers are entitled to obtain, it undermines public trust and prevents residents from reviewing the books and verifying whether decisions are in the public interest.

This is why we are demanding records and answers through the appropriate access-to-information process. We are requesting all documents necessary to understand revenue sources, spending decisions, debt obligations, governance/legal relationships between the municipality and the corporation, and any contracts or related-party arrangements that could create conflicts of interest. If the municipality continues to deny access, the public taxpayer's could pursue formal legal remedies to compel production of the records and require compliance with the law.” Then again the municipality uses public taxpayer funds to fight you in court. What a world we live in. Welcome to gangsters incorporated.
