Yukon-Canada Agreement Supports Eco-friendly Projects – Indian and Northern Affairs Canada

Whitehorse – Nine environmental Yukon projects will share close to $5 million under the Canada-Yukon Infrastructure Agreement.

Here is some text from the agreement webpage:

Canada and Yukon agree on the need for high-quality, modern public infrastructure that contributes to long-term economic growth, a clean environment and strong communities. The Parties further agree on the need for long-term planning to strategically address infrastructure needs in priority areas, including water, wastewater, public transit, the core National Highway System and green energy.

The agreement, signed last October, will fund municipal type infrastructure projects related to water, sewer or solid waste management.
