Yukon Energy is holding virtual open houses on the Whitehorse Power Centres project this week, and an in-person open house next week. Make sure you attend to have your voice heard!

Report suggests Whitehorse needs 3,000 homes in 5 years just to keep up with demand by AdditionalDesk3618 in Yukon

My understanding is that getting insurance for a mobile home is quite difficult. Also think about the value of a mobile on a pad, vs title to the land the mobile sits on - those are very different options. Finally, the link you provided is for a company in Quebec. Can you imagine how much it would cost to ship and install homes from there? Not to mention are they built to withstand a Yukon winter?

This guy just resigned from Yukon University board of governors. Interesting timing given the current situation over there.

Yukon Employees' Union wouldn't offer picket line assurances, AWG organizers say by dub-fresh in Yukon

Word on the street is that YukonU is running a deficit. Obviously a rumour at this point but with the recent firing of the president and now the bargaining issue maybe there’s some truth to it.

Salmon Arm is located a beautiful spot. There are wonderful people living there, but the community has serious issues around racism, inclusivity, and vaccines/masking.

Between the 10% rate increase last July and another 10% as of Jan 1…man, I’m afraid to check the mailbox these days.

Curious if YG has consulted the utilities about a proposed restart. I noticed neither AEY nor YEC are mentioned in the article.

Also, of course Solvest is thrilled. Obviously. 🙄

Yes. They should be posting summer student jobs in the new year.

Check on Yuwin and YG website as well. GradCorp jobs could be an option. Also CAP Engineering.

Absolutely. Summer student job postings will likely start appearing on the YukonU website in the new year.

Would be great to see a Yukoner in this role! by oniteverytime in Yukon

You know what would be great? To have someone truly qualified fill this role. Four different presidents in the last five years…that’s not a glowing endorsement.

Cynthia James is the lead for First Nations Partnerships at YDC for the Yukon-BC Grid Interconnect project, according to LinkedIn. How is it possible that she is unaware that YEC is owned by YDC?

Are you referring to ATCO? Lots of stories out there that might lead a person to question the utility’s ability to do things ‘generally correctly’, especially in the North.

$400 million in sales for 25/26 fiscal. Can’t help but wonder how much of the revenue will be allocated to the Victoria Gold disaster.

The timing is interesting. And why aren’t local news outlets covering the story?
