Currie Dixon is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Yukon Legislative Assembly in the 2011 election.[1] He served as a Cabinet minister and represented the electoral district of Copperbelt North as a member of the Yukon Party caucus until 2016.

Political career

Dixon was elected to the Yukon Legislative Assembly in the general election of October 11, 2011, in the newly created riding of Copperbelt North. He defeated Liberal Leader Arthur Mitchell, then Leader of the Official Opposition, for the seat.

He is the youngest Cabinet minister in Yukon history and among the youngest in Canadian history.[3]

On June 15, 2016, Dixon announced that he would not seek a second term as MLA of Copperbelt North.[4] He served as campaign manager for the Yukon Party during the 2016 campaign. The Yukon Party government was reduced to opposition as a result of the election.
