Rose Marie Angélique Bernard (born 1972) is the former commissioner of Yukon, appointed on 12 March 2018. She was the youngest person to serve as commissioner for any of Canada's three northern territories and the first Franco-Yukonnais to serve as commissioner.
Bernard moved to the Yukon from Montreal in 1995, initially for a 4-month translation internship with the territorial government. She became an active member of the Franco-Yukonnais community, including volunteering for non-profit organizations and hosting a French-language community radio show starting in 1998. She served as Chair of the Association Franco-Yukonnaise from 2010 to 2017. Since leaving the office of commissioner of the Yukon, Bernard has published a book detailing the role of commissioner and her own experience.
