About me
LIA JOHNSON (Yukon) – Lia was born and raised in Whitehorse. She is currently on a break from her B.Sc at University of Waterloo, which recently took her to Australia for a semester exchange. Upon returning, she took a position as a Climate Change Analyst with the Yukon Government to keep her busy .

As a summer student in 2007 Lia was involved with the first annual Yukon Youth Outside (the box), an experimental summit on climate change. She’d like to see a Yukon youth network established and is working on some ideas to get the Yukon youth’s message out to the public. As a member of the Canadian Youth Delegation to COP-14 in Poznan, Poland, Lia looks forward to representing the north and tapping into the global youth network.

Lia enjoys anything outdoors including: running, cross-country skiing, snowboarding, and canoeing. She’s passionately in love with the North -especially the Yukon- and tries to spend every summer weekend camping under the midnight sun. She’s currently getting ready for hibernation, which includes berry picking and eating lots of chocolate. LIA JOHNSON (Yukon) – Lia was born and raised in Whitehorse.
