Federal Green Party co-leader Jonathan Pedneault was in Whitehorse on Monday, pitching a plan to build a 120,000-person civil defence corps, and expand Canada's reserve forces.

He also proposed free civil defence training for any Canadian who wants it.

He also promised optional defence skills training for "tens of thousands" of Canadians, such as firearms training, survival techniques, and tactical first aid.

Pedneault also promised to expand Canada's reserve forces by 20,000 people, to fund the expansion of the Canadian Rangers, overhaul the Canadian Service Corps. for youth, and to "place Inuit, Dene, Gwich'in, and other Indigenous nations at the heart of our Arctic Indigenous strategy."
