Village of Haines Junction — The Village of Haines Junction is upgrading over one kilometre of water and sanitary sewer pipes and over four kilometres of roads and alleys after a joint investment of $10 million from the federal and territorial governments.
Announced by MP Dr. Brendan Hanley, Minister Richard Mostyn, and Mayor Bruce Tomlin, this project will build on previous water, sewer, and road upgrades by replacing more of the aging pipes and roads to support the municipality and its future housing developments.
The federal government is investing $7,500,000 through the Green Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The Government of Yukon is investing $2,500,000.
“We are proud to be investing in Yukoners’ quality of life with the Government of Canada and are grateful for their funding. This project addresses critical infrastructure needs that are essential to the everyday lives of Haines Junction residents. As our territory grows, we are committed to meeting the expanding needs of our communities and building a strong, sustainable future for Yukoners.” – Richard Mostyn, Minister of Community Services, Government of Yukon
