Nicole Percival - Senior Planner (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
Nicole has been working with YLUPC and the Dawson Planning Commission 2018 and is based out of Whitehorse. She has an eclectic professional background and happily landed in the Yukon and the world of regional planning in 2016 when she graduated from the University of Toronto. Nicole is enthusiastic about finding opportunities in planning that that improve environmental and social conditions through land use practices and processes. Knitting, hiking and canoeing are the things that she loves best (although, not at the same time... that wouldn't end well!).
