mona luxion (They/them, e/em)

Executive Director

Mona Luxion has been an advocate and change-maker for over 25 years, and has experience leading and working with nonprofits in the areas of human rights, housing, food security, and environmental and social justice. You may recognize them as the former President of Queer Yukon's Board of Directors.

Since first coming out in the early 2000s, in a midwestern-American small town, Mona has actively volunteered and contributed to diverse queer and trans communities across parts of the US, UK and Canada. They first came to Whitehorse in 2014, attending Queer Yukon's second-ever Pride festival, and moved to the territory permanently in 2020.

Mona is inspired on a daily basis by the creativity and persistence of queer, trans and Two-Spirit communities and by the legacies of care and struggle that our queer forebears have built. They're thrilled and grateful for the opportunity to support, celebrate and advocate for the Yukon's 2SLGBTQIA+ communities full-time, and they're looking forward to getting to know many more of you.
