Dawson City mayor-elect Stephen Johnson says he and four -member council refused to take Canada ’s official oath to the monarch.

Johnson said council hasn’t been able to proceed with municipal duties and is eagerly waiting for an alternative to the oath.

The Yukon's Municipal Act says elected officials are required to take the Oath of Allegiance and an oath of office.

The territory is reviewing council's request to swear a different oath.
