Statement from Premier Sandy Silver on Dahria Beatty’s participation at 2022 Olympics

Premier Sandy Silver has issued the following statement:

“I join all Yukoners today in congratulating Dahria Beatty as she prepares to compete in cross-country skiing at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing representing Team Canada.

"Dahria is an exemplary athlete and a wonderful testament to the Yukon spirit of determination and achievement. She joins many other athletes from the Whitehorse Cross Country Ski Club in excelling on the national and international stages. Dahria’s consistent presence at the top level of competition speaks to the strength of this sport in our small but mighty territory.

“I am thrilled that Dahria will again represent the Yukon as a member of Team Canada. Dahria excelled at her first Olympic Games in 2018 in PyeongChang and we know she will achieve great things again in 2022.

“The Government of Yukon is proud to support Yukon athletes and to foster opportunities for sport and active living.”
