Copperbelt North is a territorial electoral district of Yukon that has been represented in the Yukon Legislative Assembly since 2011. It has been represented by Currie Dixon, the current Leader of the Opposition, from 2011 to 2016, and since 2021.

The riding was created in 2009 following the amalgamation of part of the district of Whitehorse West and the former district of Copperbelt. In accordance to the Yukon Electoral District Boundaries Act (2024), it underwent moderate boundary changes, losing most of its southern portion to the riding of Copperbelt South.

Geography

Copperbelt North comprises the southern portion of the Copper Ridge subdivision and the Lobird mobile home park in Whitehorse. It is bordered by the districts of Copperbelt South, Mountainview, Porter Creek South, and Whitehorse West, and covers residential areas located west of the Alaska Highway.

History

Following its creation in 2009, the riding was first contested in the 2011 Yukon general election, and was won by Yukon Party candidate Currie Dixon. After Dixon chose to not seek re-election in 2016, the seat was won by Yukon Liberal Ted Adel. In the 2021 election, Dixon returned as the Yukon Party candidate and defeated Adel to regain the seat.
