aven Recycling’s board voted last night on whether it will re-open its public drop-off service.

Representatives remained mum about the decision on Wednesday morning. An announcement should be ready later this week, after the board has collected more information, said president Jacqueline Bedard.

“It’s just not an easy yes/no decision,” said executive director Joy Snyder in an interview Thursday.

“The board needs to think about, what are the long-range plans? What does the community need?”

“They want recycling to happen, they know that the community wants recycling, but how do they best bring that about?”

The drop-off bins have been shuttered since October. Raven said it could no longer afford the cost of processing materials and shipping them out.

Earlier this month the Yukon government and City of Whitehorse announced they had found a few ways to give both Raven and private recycler P&M a boost.

The Yukon government has also promised up to $573,000 to support the processors in 2015/2016, two and a half times what was provided in the past year.

The City of Whitehorse committed to an additional $57,300 in diversion credits to recyclers this year, beyond its regular $150,000 funding cap for that program.

In addition, it has advanced the $150,000 set aside for 2016 diversion credits.

The Yukon government also chipped in $68,000 to ship out 400 tonnes of stockpiled mixed plastics, and the city promised

to deal with stockpiled mixed paper through its recycling program.

Those measures help, but what Yukon needs is a longterm, sustainable system to pay for recycling, said Snyder.

Snyder has been trying to budget the costs of re-opening the drop-off bins, but there are so many unknowns, she said.

“I don’t know how much tonnage is going to be dropped off. Some people are throwing stuff in the garbage now, the blue box program has increased, and that goes to P&M, so I have no idea what the tonnage is going to be, and thus the revenue attached to that is unknown.”

Revenues attached to returnable beverage containers are also very much up in the air, said Snyder.

Those depend on things beyond the society’s control, like the economic situation and even the weather, she said.

“I’ve lost a lot of customers.

Am I going to get them back?”

Revenues from future commodity sales are also hard to predict, said Snyder.

“I don’t know how much product I’m going to have to sell, and I don’t know what I’m going to get paid for it, so there’s just so much uncertainty.”

Whitehorse is working

on implementing city-wide recycling pick up, and that’s a step in the right direction, said Snyder.

“We are really supportive of that, because it will provide a system to pay for non-refundables.”

But it will only cover about 5,000 households that currently have garbage pick up, and not multi-family residences and country residential lots.

“What’s going to happen to them? What sort of system is going to cover them? It’s still just only a piece of it.”

Raven responded to a request for statements of interest from the city to manage the curbside recycling program, said Snyder.

But she’s working on back up plans that will keep the society busy whether or not it wins the bid for that contract, she said.

“If we get it, that’s great, but I also have plans for if we don’t get it. And that’s great.”

Ideas include partnering with Habitat for Humanity on an expanded free store, developing a repair and refurbishment centre for electronics, and focusing more attention on efforts at public education, said Snyder.

“We want to be more than a processor. We want to be sort of a one-stop-shop-all-eco-depot.”

City supports status quo for Riverdale footbridge Myles Dolphin News Reporter

W

hitehorse city council has voted overwhelmingly in favour of keeping ATVs and snowmobiles off the Rotary Centennial Bridge, almost two years after the divisive issue was first raised.

The 5-1 vote was reached after 45 minutes of debate at Monday evening’s meeting.

Councillor Mike Gladish was the lone voice arguing the pedestrian bridge should be shared with offroad vehicles users.

Motorized vehicles have never been allowed on the bridge.

That’s long bothered some offroad vehicle enthusiasts, who want to ride from Riverdale to the out-and-away trails on the far side of the Yukon River.

The thorny issue was first brought to city administration’s attention in May 2013, after a Whitehorse resident was concerned with increased numbers of offroad vehicles flouting the rules and using the bridge.

Last week, city administration presented a report to council in which it recommended the bridge retain its pedestrians-only status.

It stated there wasn’t enough public support to consider changing the bridge’s designation to accommodate offroad vehicle users.

Moreover, doing so would go against the desires of the original supporters of the bridge project: the three Whitehorse Rotary Clubs, Yukon Energy Corporation, the Riverdale Community Association and Father JeanMarie Mouchet.

Those arguments came up time and time again at Monday’s meeting, as councillors took the opportunity to voice their

A pedestrian walks his dog over the Rotary Centennial Bridge on Wednesday morning. City council voted on Monday to keep the ban on motorized vehicles using the bridge.

opinion on the issue one last time before voting. Coun. Gladish was the most active, trying to sway his peers on five separate occasions.

He argued that maintaining the current status wouldn’t resolve the issue or prevent unauthorized use of the bridge.

“It’s a divisive issue but it’s not about whether to allow motorized users on the bridge, it’s about whether to share or not to share,” he said.

“It’s the only safe offroad crossing that’s available. I had a bit of a revelation over the weekend – we’re on the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dun First Nation and the Ta’an Kwach’an Council.

“Their tradition is to share the land, and I don’t see why we can’t share the bridge.”

Coun. Gladish is part of the city’s trails and greenways committee, a group that was tasked by council to come up with new solutions for the future use of the footbridge.

Sharing the bridge was one of several ideas to emerge from a brainstorming session the committee held back in January.

Coun. Gladish also argued that a community’s needs and priorities could change over time.

“Yes, the original purpose of the bridge was intended for pedestrians only, but this is an example of arising needs,” he said.

“Being open-minded in considering new information is a responsibility of city council.”

Coun. Betty Irwin didn’t mince words when it came to

expressing her opinion.

She said the issue would come up again in the future – but for now, council could hold it off.

“I have absolutely no sympathy for people who spends thousands of dollars on their expensive toys and then claim that purchasing a trailer is a terrible economic hardship,” she said.

“We have huge expanses of land in the Yukon where motorized vehicles can go and destroy vast tracks of land with complete freedom, destroy the environment, ignore the consequences and terrify the wildlife.

“Let them go there.”

Residents hoping to keep the bridge’s status intact have been vocal about it.

At a public hearing on April 7, city councillors spent close to

three hours listening to the pleas of residents who wanted to keep offroad vehicles off the bridge.

Of 18 delegates who spoke at the meeting, 17 of them were in favour of retaining the pedestrian-only status.

The Klondike Snowmobile Association has pushed for allowing its members to use the bridge. At last night’s meeting its president, Mark Daniels, could be seen shaking his head as councillors made arguments in support of the status quo.

Coun. Dave Stockdale stated the city has designated trails within Riverdale for the KSA to use, which lead to out-and-away trails.

Coun. Gladish replied by saying he believed there were only two of those: one alongside Grey Mountain Road, “in the ditch,” and one on Chadburn Lake Road, which leads to a dead end.

“It’s not as good as it sounds,” he added.

In an email sent afterwards, Daniels said the association was disappointed that only one councillor made reference to the principles in the city’s trail plan, intended to guide its decisionmaking in regard to trails.

“The remainder of council used entirely different criteria in their deliberations and came to, what we consider to be, the wrong conclusion,” Daniels wrote.

He said that despite the setback, the association would continue to work on completing upgrades to the Trans Canada Trail this summer.

The bridge, which opened in July 2005, will celebrate its 10th anniversary this summer.

the city would be left on the hook for operations and maintenance costs in the future.

City council also expressed doubts about whether $50,000 would be enough to cover those costs annually, a figure that was mentioned in an earlier design proposal.

The territorial government has maintained it would look at covering any shortfalls in operations and maintenance costs.

Gaw maintains the city has known about this project for more than a year.

On Monday, Coun. Mike Gladish proposed a motion to postpone the vote for two weeks, saying he needed more technical information from city administration.

He suggested holding another council and senior management meeting, to get

more input.

Some of the city’s questions about the project remain unanswered, he said in an email afterwards.

“I asked questions […] regarding the possibility of building part of the outdoor complex within the existing zoning,” he wrote.

“The question was not answered. Other councillors had similar questions during the week and wondered about options for different configurations for the fields and track.”

Meanwhile, Gaw said a request for proposal had been issued for the design of the complex and awarded to Associated Engineering, the same company that submitted a draft proposal last year.

“We’ve been going through the design process for the last

week or two and hopefully we’ll be able to put it to use,” he said.

At a recent public hearing, nine residents with backgrounds ranging from Athletics Yukon to the Whitehorse Minor Soccer Association told council members about the benefits of having such a complex in Whitehorse.

They argued Whitehorse’s soccer and track-and-field facilities are in a state of disrepair, and preventing local youth from developing into better athletes.

Council also received 39 written submissions about the outdoor sports complex, 37 of them in favour of the project.

Second and third reading of the zoning amendment bylaw is now scheduled for the April 27 meeting.

At the time, the government paid about $175,000 annually in booking fees to local travel agents for those destinations.

Three departments took part in the project: Economic Development; Energy, Mines and Resources; and Health and Social Services.

According to the report, the project put more work on employees’ plates while producing negligible savings.

“The booking process interfered with regular staff duties and introduced a lot of stress into the workplace and work relationships,” according to one travel arranger respondent.

“Guidelines and procedures

According to the data, it cost an average of $244 to self-book a ticket to Vancouver, and an average of $241 by going through the government’s travel desk.

Using the travel agencies, it cost an average of $244.

Similar results were achieved for Calgary and Edmonton. In total, 616 tickets were purchased during the pilot project.

The average time to arrange bookings did not decrease, either.

It took an average of 9.91 minutes to self-book tickets (with a maximum of 44 minutes) and an average of 5.73 minutes through

the travel desk (with a maximum of 42 minutes).

It only took 4.28 minutes using the travel agencies.

“More time was added to the booking process, especially with the paperwork and reporting required,” said one respondent.

“It was difficult to allocate time for booking immediate flights,” said another.

The data and comments collected are meant to help government decision makers “as it considers opportunities to reduce costs and improve efficiencies for the procurement of airline travel.”

is on potential hydraulic fracturing in the Liard basin in southeast Yukon, and that a fracking industry would have to have First Nation support.

Yukon already has the laws and regulatory structures in place to safely manage hydraulic fracturing activity, said Sumanik.

“All of these regulations work in concert … to minimize risk to human health and the environment, and at the same time hopefully optimizing or maximizing benefits to society,” he said.

“With anything in life comes risk, and with the regulation of oil and gas development and production, our task is to minimize that so that workers come home safely, people living near the activity are safe and the environment is safe.

Sumanik noted that Yukon has an agreement with the BC Oil and Gas Commission that allows the territory to rely on its expertise. It has done so recently on applications for work in the Liard basin and the Eagle Plain basin, he said.

“It’s basically a sober second thought, a second opinion of how we propose to regulate an activity.”

The government has committed to a number of further studies specific to potential fracking in the Liard basin.

It has promised to commission a study to look at the probable economic impacts of an unconventional natural gas industry, and to collect more baseline data on the water, land, air, wildlife and human health.

“One of the things we always do, though, as a department, is we try to look forward and think about, OK, what are the pressure points coming at us?”

The goal is not to do work that would normally fall to a proponent, but to have a general sense of the issues that exist in an area, he said.

“We want to be prepared, understand what we’re dealing with in the first place in an area … but we’re not trying to have it all done and queued up for any specific project,” said van Randen.

“That’s not our job. If they have an interest economically, that will end up going to them.”

The studies that the government has promised with respect to fracking in the Liard basin has not committed it beyond what the government would contribute in another area, he said.

“Our work is done to help us prepare to give them advice around what we think they’ll have to do to be ready.”

The Liard basin is home to Yukon’s formerly producing gas wells.

EFLO Energy Inc. currently owns controlling interest in the Kotaneelee gas project there, and has recently completed an environmental assessment to rework two wells and get them back into production. That proposal does not include the use of hydraulic fracturing.

The company told a Yukon legislative committee last year that it hopes to begin unconventional production in the Kotaneelee in the next five to 10 years.

Highway expansion won’t destroy Airport Chalet Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

T

he Airport Chalet will not be threatened by the proposed Alaska Highway expansion, a senior Highways and Public Works official has confirmed.

“As we have currently proposed it in the draft plan, the building will not be required to be removed or moved,” said Allan Nixon, assistant deputy minister for transportation, in an interview last week.

Airport Chalet owner D’Arcy Olynyk has raised concerns about a $52 million plan to widen the highway to four lanes between Robert Service Way and Kopper King over the next five years, and the potential impacts on his business.

Olynyk said that at a meeting with project leaders about a month ago, he was told he could expect one year’s notice to move his building from the highway right of way as early as mid-May. “If it goes though the way it’s proposed, it will instantly destroy our business,” he said last week.

The current designs show a paved multi-use trail going through the space where the Airport Chalet now stands.

That doesn’t mean there were ever any plans to have the building moved, said Nixon.

“We accommodate the multi-use trail as best we can,” he said. “It’s just a line on the map to show that we have to do

has been incorporated into the plans.

“We were asked to do the functional plan as a draft that took into account national standards and best practices that are now common across the country,” said Kirk Cameron, with CH2M HILL Canada Ltd., the engineering firm contracted by the government. Cameron was also present at the meeting with Olynyk.

“That’s what we did, which resulted in this draft functional plan. Emphasize, highlight and

underline ‘draft.’”

The next phase is to “Yukonize” the plans, said Cameron. That means balancing what’s best from an engineering perspective with what is going to work for residents and businesses on the ground.

If having the Airport Chalet moved or taken down is not on the table, “that’s wonderful news,” said Olynyk.

But he’s still concerned about plans to reduce his highway access to just one point, which he worries will make it impossible

“We’re a truck stop. So if they don’t make it truck accessible, then they’ve killed the business anyway.”

That’s the sort of detail that might be worked out through the consultation, said Nixon.

“We’re not here to put anybody out of business, we’re not here to detract from their ability to make a living at all,” he said.

“What we’ve consistently said, since we started meeting with the businesses back in February, was ‘We’re going to work with you here to do the best possible job for everybody.’

“It’s not a final design, written in stone, and that’s why we’re doing the consultation.

“If you’ve got a better way, or a different way, let’s hear it, and let’s talk about it. We’re open to that.”

The government is consulting on the plans through May 15. Visit www.placespeak.com/ whitehorsecorridor for more information.

Yukoners can also call 1-866-692-4484 or email whitehorsecorridorinfo@ch2m.com with questions or feedback.

Open houses have also been scheduled from April 22-25 for residents to learn about the plan and ask questions. They will take place from 4-8 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Yukon Transportation Museum.

The company has 21 days to appeal the decision. Family members could also request a review of a decision or order issued by the board.

“The dollar value of a penalty does not and cannot reflect the loss of life and the pain and suffering of workers and families,” the safety board said in a statement.

The store’s co-owner, Patti Smith, said no decisions have been made about whether they will appeal the decision.

“Our thoughts continue to be with Gary’s family on the anniversary of his death and we continue to work really closely with occupational heath and safety to ensure a safe and healthy work environment.”

Smith would not discuss what went wrong leading to Martin’s death.

“Hopefully if there was some fault, there would have been charges laid,” she said.

Following Martin’s death, the store raised money for his family by donating a portion of paint sales to a memorial fund.

Whitehorse RCMP got a call that a witness had seen someone break the window at Epic Pizza, enter the premises, and leave with bottles of alcohol. The caller provided a detailed description of the suspect and which way he went.

LUNCH WILL BE SERVED Travel Allowance will be paid for members travelling from the communities.

The key issue for the union centres on the pension system and how decisions are made, Geick said.

The pension fund is filled by both the union and the hospital corporation. Up until about a year ago, the corporation contributed 60 per cent of the money.

Last April that was changed to a 50/50 split.

At the same time, early retirement age for new employees was bumped from 50 to 55 and 60 to 65 for regular retirement. Geick said those decisions were pushed through unilaterally by the hospital’s board because of the way things are currently structured.

As it stands right now, a fivemember committee made up of union and corporation representatives can make recommendations for the pension fund’s management, but “the board makes the final decision,” Geick said.

In its new deal, the union

is looking for some protection involving pension decisions. He doesn’t have any details on what that would look like. The idea was a non-starter with the corporation, he said.

“To put some sort of protection into the collective agreement (so) that major changes in the pension plan, we would have more of a say in,” he said. “What it looks like, I don’t know. That doesn’t cost anything.”

Hospital spokesperson James Low said the corporation is ready and willing to talk. He would not comment on specific points of the negations, “but we can say that there is common ground between us and our employees,” he said.

“We have also been consistent and clear from the outset that we are open to working with the union to find a solution and reach a final agreement.”

“Whitehorse RCMP located the suspect travelling northbound on Lewes Boulevard by the Riverdale Bridge, attempting to operate a bicycle whilst holding three bottles of liquor at the same time,” police say in a statement.

A 17-year-old was arrested.

He has since been charged with break and entering.

He cannot be named under Canada’s Youth Criminal Justice Act. “In this incident we are thankful that an alert citizen not only called the police instantly, they also provided an excellent description and direction of travel,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Natasha Dunmall.

Rally denounces RCMP violence Myles Dolphin News Reporter

A

Yukon First Nation chief wants to know how the RCMP is going to improve its procedures following allegations that one of its officers used excessive force during a recent arrest.

Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation Chief Eric Fairclough was one of about 40 people to attend a demonstration in front of the RCMP building on Friday afternoon.

They came from all over the territory, but Fairclough said many protesters were from the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation.

Several people brought homemade signs with messages ranging from ‘Stop police brutality’ to ‘I was afraid to protest but I want my daughter to learn to be courageous,’ while others played the drums and recited prayers.

In an interview afterwards, Fairclough said the gathering was meant to send a message to the RCMP that people are concerned.

“This issue cannot be left alone and has to be dealt with,” he said.

Fairclough was referring to a violent arrest that was video-recorded on a cellphone in a Jeckell Street home on Sunday, April 5.

In the short video, which was posted to Facebook the same day, an unidentified police officer is seen punching Joshua Skookum in the face while trying to arrest him.

It has since been viewed over 900,000 times.

Some witnesses are heard yelling at the officer, while others are crying.

“I did nothing man,” Skookum tells the officer, who was later reassigned to administrative duties.

Fairclough said Skookum’s arrest brings back memories of

Top: Kwanlin Dun First Nation member Irma Scarff holds a sign in front of the Whitehorse RCMP detachment on Friday. About 40 people gathered to protest the alleged use of excessive force by a RCMP officer during a recent arrest.

what happened to Raymond Silverfox, a Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation member who died in police custody in 2008 after spending 13 and a half hours in a cell at the Whitehorse RCMP detachment.

During that time he was severely ill, vomited 26 times and begged officers to help. A video of the ordeal shows police mocking him.

He eventually died of sepsis and acute pneumonia from inhaling his own vomit.

“In our meeting, I told them (RCMP) that I wasn’t happy with what I saw in the video, that it looked like excessive force,” Fairclough said.

“We thought that things would turn around with the RCMP when we went through the Silver-

fox case. There were recommendations made and so on.

“There needs to be an im-

provement in the way in which officers conduct themselves and make decisions, especially with First Nation people.”

In a news release last week, RCMP Insp. Archie Thompson said the Mounties have to be publicly responsible for their actions, which includes the use of force.

But he also said the video only tells part of the story.

“Social media does not always allow viewers the benefit of context or offer the totality of events, including the moments leading up to the point where the video started,” he wrote.

Thompson said the Mounties have no issue with people protesting peacefully. “I actually had a good conversation with some of the people involved,” he said Monday morning.

The RCMP initially started its own investigation into the incident, with the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team assigned to conduct a file review. But the team has since taken over the investigation.

In a news release on Friday, a spokesperson said “it was simply determined the particular incident required a higher level of engagement to ensure independence and objectivity.”

The team, the RCMP and Yukon government are working towards appointing a community liaison to the investigation.

Fairclough said he spoke to Thompson on Friday to discuss how a member of the First Nation could fill that role.

“I gave them a few names and we talked about it for a bit,” he said.

“One way or another the community wants to hear back from the RCMP about how things are going to be improved, if they’re taking this matter seriously, because people are frustrated.”

OPINION Bill S-6 undermines Yukon’s land claim deals Liz Hanson

F

ormer Whitehorse city councillor Kirk Cameron recently wrote a surprising letter of support for Premier Darrell Pasloski and the federal Conservative government’s unilateral changes to Yukon’s Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act contained in Bill S-6.

Some of Cameron’s assertions are an eerie echo of public statements by Pasloski.

For example, his recommendation that S-6 pass “as is” stands alongside the premier’s insistence that Yukon First Nation governments just “let it pass.” They think that somehow, maybe, after federal legislation is passed the Yukon and Canadian governments will then sit down with First Nation governments to see what sort of compromise can be reached.

This position ignores the fact that the amendments completely contradict the assessment board’s integrity as an arm’s length organization – an independence that was negotiated and agreed upon by the governments of Canada, Yukon and the Yukon First Nations.

Cameron’s suggestion echoes federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s strange approach to Bill C-51, a highly criticized piece of legislation that he plans to vote for (even though he apparently doesn’t like it) and that he would change… if Canada makes him prime minister. This is

not how Canadians govern.

At its core, Bill S-6 strikes at the heart of the compromises already made by Yukon First Nations when they negotiated Yukon’s final land claims and self-government agreements.

Pasloski and Cameron should remember that Yukon First Nations agreed to retain only 10 per cent of their traditional territories as settlement land with the express understanding that they would create a new relationship with the Yukon government based on the effective partnership and stewardship over land and resource management. The Yukon government agreed to public government bodies such as the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board, the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board and the Yukon Land Use Planning Council that would operate at arm’s length from any government and would provide independent advice and recommendations.

But that independence is under threat thanks to Bill S-6. As we feel the impact of Stephen Harper and Ryan Leef ’s gutting of Canada’s environmental and regulatory regimes, it’s chilling to think that a Yukon premier would ask to have a federal minister give binding policy direction to an independent Yukon body that reviews the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of proposed developments. It’s even scarier to think that the same federal minister can delegate that Publisher

binding power over the arm’s length body to a Yukon government minister.

The Yukon Party is now clear about their intention to pursue fracking in Yukon. Bill S-6’s one-time assessments would eliminate new evaluations for project renewals and could mean that massive resource extraction projects are only assessed once despite the ongoing evolution of the project (think Faro). Imagine: a conventional gas project could become a fracking operation without an environmental assessment.

No, Kirk, the compromises have been made. It’s time to call off the Conservativebacked Yukon Party attack on Yukon’s final agreements.

They are our agreements; we all benefit from the potential of strong, government-togovernment relationships.

I am thankful as a Yukoner that our First Nation governments have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the integrity of the agreements entered into on behalf of us all.

Harm reduction saves lives and tax dollars When the Conservative government came to power with its mantra of “tough on crime” it

N

of stamping it out.

Insite, for example, operates on the notion that heroin users will be heroin users, so until they are ready to get off the drug it is better to focus on keeping them alive long enough to do so by preventing an overdose or exposure to Hepatitis C or HIV. Other examples of harm reduction include needle exchanges, and safe crack pipes. Some countries even provide recognized addicts with the drugs themselves to ensure purity, dosage and that the addicts do not engage in property crimes or prostitution to actually buy the drugs.

Harm reduction is obviously controversial. In a culture where the focus has always been on enforcement, it forces people to think “outside the box” about drugs – a box many are simply not willing or able to think outside of.

The idea of allowing and even facilitating the use of potentially dangerous drugs with the use of taxpayers’ money grates on the moral sensibilities of more than a few Canadians. The only good addict is a reformed addict, so if they aren’t willing to get help then force them, the thinking goes. If only it were that easy.

I have no qualms with harm

reduction and would take the philosophy much further than Insite.

As nasty as drug use can be, it is clear that many of the harmful effects of addiction – both personal to the drug user and social – can be mitigated.

Contrary to widespread belief, which sees addiction as a one-way trip down a steep cliff, the reality is that with help a drug user can live a somewhat productive, meaningful life. Clearly the threat of prison, infectious disease and death are insufficient to motivate people off of drugs or we would have beaten this scourge long time ago.

Not only is harm reduction the compassionate approach, it makes financial sense as well. Many understandably object to the idea of our tax dollars being used to facilitate drug use, but that objection must be weighed against the financial cost of, for example, a round of treatment for Hepatitis C, or the liver cancer it can cause.

Several analyses have shown that Insite actually saves public funds in the long term.

The Vancouver Police Department and some residents in the Downtown Eastside were initially icy to the idea of such a facility in their community but have

warmed over when they actually saw it in operation. Studies have found a reduction of overdoses in the community after the opening of Insite. The facility enjoys the support of both the municipal and provincial government.

The federal government’s dogged insistence on shutting Insite isn’t surprising, given its unenlightened approach to drug use in general. The federal Conservatives seem to believe that the only solution to drug use is tougher sentences, more prisons and more moralizing to teenagers.

That is too bad.

This isn’t to say that every city in the country needs a safe injection site. What makes sense in downtown Vancouver might not make sense in a place like, say, Whitehorse. But this city clearly has its own serious issues with alcohol and other drugs. The philosophy of harm reduction – in compliment to our byzantine liquor regulations and enforcement – might do us some good and is already employed in some respects.

Thankfully, alcohol being legal and all, we don’t have to deal with an obstinate federal government thwarting our efforts.

NATIONAL Prime Minister Stephen Harper dependent on Mike Duffy for partisan purposes, trial told Brazeau said he lived in Maniwaki, Que., but police allege that he actually lived in Gatineau, across the river from Ottawa. He has already had his salary gar-

nisheed to pay back the Senate for $50,000 it said he owed the public purse.

Brazeau is likely not the only senator who will be watching the

Duffy trial closely. Sen. Pamela Wallin faces similar charges relating to her expenses, and the auditor general is currently reviewing the books of other senators.

OTTAWA he courtroom hosting the trial of Sen. Mike Duffy has its first set of props, and they feature Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Defence lawyer Donald Bayne introduced into evidence Thursday two oversized photographs featuring Duffy and Harper at public events. They promptly wound up displayed on the wall next to the accused, for all present to see.

“To Duff: A great journalist and a great senator,” read the inscription on one of the photographs of the pair, taken five months after Duffy was appointed to the Senate in December 2008.

“Thanks for being one of my best, hardest-working appointments ever! Stephen Harper.”

The other photo depicts Harper and Duffy at a 2010 event on Parliament Hill, the two men sitting face to face on a public stage.

What do the photographs have to do with Duffy’s 31 charges of fraud, breach of trust and bribery?

Plenty, as Bayne’s argument goes.

Eighteen of the charges deal with travel claims in which Duffy said he was on Senate business.

The Crown has alleged Duffy was attending to personal matters and going to partisan events – travel the taxpayer shouldn’t have paid for.

Bayne is making the case that any kind of political activity or event passes muster as far as the rules go – and besides, Harper made it clear he wanted the former broadcaster on the road, supporting the Conservatives.

In a second day of cross-examining former Senate law clerk Mark Audcent, Bayne emphasized the broad definition of what constitutes Senate business.

“Sen. Duffy played a very highly active partisan role for the prime minister, after his appointment, very soon after his appointment, and started to appear with him personally,” he said.

Bayne took Audcent through

T

the Senate administrative rules that he helped draft in 2004, and the definition of a senator’s parliamentary functions. One section of the rules calls partisan activities an “inherent and essential” part of a senator’s life.

“Partisan activities are not a sideshow in the Senate, they aren’t peripheral, they aren’t whatever the public thinks,” said Bayne.

“In reality, partisan activities are inherent and essential as part of the parliamentary function of a senator.”

“I agree,” said Audcent.

Audcent also agreed with Bayne’s analysis that there are really no limitations to what constitutes legitimate activities for a senator – with the exception of campaigning for an MP during an election, or private business.

Bayne: “There’s an immense range of activity that fall as senatorial activities.”

Audcent: “Completely, yes.”

In one instance, Duffy said he was scheduled to attend an event with then-cabinet minister Gary Lunn on Vancouver Island. That event was cancelled, but Duffy spent time visiting with family in the area.

The early part of the day’s testimony revolved around Duffy’s residency issues. The minutiae might have caused a few yawns, but one courtroom spectator was listening very closely.

Fellow suspended senator Patrick Brazeau sat in the back of the room, listening carefully and taking copious notes.

Brazeau and Duffy, once colleagues in the Conservative caucus, both face charges related to living and travel expenses they filed for having a primary residence outside of the Ottawa area.

“I’m here to support my independent senator,” Brazeau said as he arrived at the Ottawa courthouse.

Duffy said his primary residence was a home in Prince Edward Island, despite the fact he lives most of the time in suburban Ottawa.

He made claims of about $82,000.

Two speeches – a 1995 address in Beijing and her final campaign event in 2008 – serve as twin pillars as she heads into a second campaign.

As first lady, Clinton declared in a speech to the United Nations’ Fourth World Conference on Women that “human rights are women’s rights and women’s rights are human rights.”

The speech challenged human rights abuses of women and helped set the tone for Clinton’s work years later in the State Department.

Her 2008 speech, delivered

after Obama locked up the nomination, told supporters they had made “18 million cracks” in the glass ceiling, denoting the number of primary votes she won.

It left the impression of unfinished business and the potential for a woman eventually to win the White House.

Her critics remember her for blaming her husband’s scandals on a “vast right-wing conspiracy.”

Reading list Clinton penned Hard Choices, a memoir of her time as secretary of state and promoted the book around the country in 2014.

The book generated mediocre sales and Clinton stumbled at times during the book tour, saying in one interview that she and her husband were “dead broke” when they left the White House.

While they faced large legal bills from the Whitewater investigation, the couple made millions after Bill Clinton’s presidency and the comments were considered tone-deaf.

Clinton was already a publishing powerhouse at that point – her 2003 memoir, Living History, sold more than 1 million copies.

During her husband’s presidency, she released It Takes a Village in 1996, a book that discussed her work in child advocacy and steps to help children become productive adults.

Exhibit commemorates missing and murdered aboriginal women Jacqueline Ronson News Reporter

T

housands of intricate moccasin tops are on display at the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre this week, representing the unfinished lives of missing and murdered aboriginal women across Canada.

Close to 1,800 pairs of decorated flaps of felt and leather, known as vamps, have been donated to the Walking With Our Sisters exhibition. They represent the work of more than 1,300 contributing artists.

Walking With Our Sisters is a national art installation that has been touring the country since 2013.

The Whitehorse exhibit opened on Saturday. Hundreds of Yukoners have contributed in their own way, by attending sewing circles or volunteering time to help with the installation or with showing visitors through the space.

Preparations have been going on for months.

Sharon Shorty has been helping to lead a sewing circle that contributed work to the exhibit.

“It’s been healing, it’s been fun,” she said. “We laugh. I’ve been sewing 45 years and I’ve learned six new techniques within two weeks.”

Shorty held a pair of vamps with an intricate beaded flower she sewed to commemorate one of 39 documented missing or murdered aboriginal women from the Yukon.

The pattern came from her auntie, she explained, pointing to a picture of the women and other members of her family displayed on an interpretive panel on the cultural centre’s wall.

The vamps displayed in the exhibit show an extraordinary wealth of tradition and talent, said Shorty.

“If you walk in there, that’s world class work. It’s amazing.

Aside from what it represents, the artistry there is incredible.

“When I look at all of these, I just see all this symbolism, and the techniques, the styles of beadwork, the types of beads they use. It has really revitalized me as an artist.”

On Friday afternoon, the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre was bustling as organizers and volunteers worked to get ready for the opening, and to show local reporters through the exhibit.

Everything about the space has been intentionally laid out in a certain way, intended to bring significance and ceremony.

Visitors can choose to be smudged with smoke in a cleansing ceremony before entering the room.

The vamps have been laid out in a circular formation over paths of fabric around the room.

Over one thousand moccasin tops, or “vamps”, are displayed in the Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre on Friday as part of the exhibit “Walking With Our Sisters.”

Visitors are invited to remove their shoes and put on moccasins, if they have them, and walk beside the artwork, in a clockwise direction through the space.

In the middle of the room, a raised circular platform holds dozens of smaller vamps, for children’s moccasins, that memorialize children who died while attending residential school.

“It’s representing that every one of these unfinished lives is important, no matter who they were or where they came from, these indigenous women matter,” said Krista Reid, who works at the cultural centre and is one of the organizers of the Yukon showing of the installation.

“Many of these issues that we have in our communities are re-

sults of effects of residential school and colonization and legislation and policy that have created terrible consequences for aboriginal women in this country, and we need to bring awareness of those,” she said.

“Those things have created barriers and marginalized our women, and created stereotypes.

So this is an opportunity to create

a space of sacredness and awareness that, yes, these things are real in our communities, yes.

“But look at how resilient we are, in spite of those things. And look at how this community has come together. You don’t see only First Nations people helping put this together. It’s all walks of life in our community that has come together. That creates a partnership and a space of moving forward and forgiveness.”

“To me that’s one of the most beautiful things about the show,” said Mary Bradshaw with the Yukon Arts Centre, which is copresenting the exhibit. “It’s not simply the awareness. There’s the healing and the sadness of it, but there’s hope, and caring. That people take the time to meditatively bead or sew – stitch by stitch you’re thinking of these women, and you’re thinking of ways to move ahead.”

While mostly women have been involved with the sewing and tending to the exhibit space, men are doing their part too.

Since the beginning of the installation process men from the community have been fasting between sun up and sun down and tending to a sacred fire they have lit behind the cultural centre.

“They’ve been outside tending that fire, staying overnight,” said Reid. “They’re taking care of us from the outside. Because it’s the men’s job to take care of everything that’s going on outside, and the women’s job to take care of the home fires.”

The exhibit runs through April 25. Opening hours are 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with extended hours to 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

Everyone is welcome, especially those who feel like they may not belong, said Reid.

“Those are the ones we want to come the most. They’re the ones that probably have the most to learn, and so we would love it if they joined us here.”

No phones, photography or video is permitted in the exhibit.

Volunteers and guides are available at all times to give an orientation to the space, answer questions and give support.

Other events that are expected to run concurrently with the exhibit include further meetings of the sewing group (all are welcome and encouraged to try) and screenings of a documentary about B.C.’s Highway of Tears.

Those events have not yet been scheduled. Visit “Walking With Our Sisters – Whitehorse” and “W.W.O.S. Sewing Group” on Facebook for updates.

“Now,” he added, “I feel I can be myself.”

CP: The record is bilingual, with translations in the lyric sheet and collaborations with English-speaking artists David Myles and Ron Sexsmith. What drew you to working with Sexsmith again?

Cuba: Having Ron Sexsmith on your record is quite the honour.

I think when Ron sings my melodies … his voice becomes sweeter, because my melodies are sweeter.

I had this song already written in Spanish. I translated it for him to understand, sent it to him, and he rewrote it in less than 24 hours and sent it back to me.

Sarah’s been my partner in crime, man. Forget it. She’s like somebody who has supported me 100 per cent.

Even when I had a manager, she was doing more than the manager. Because she knows me. She doesn’t have to spend any time guessing my mind.

CP: You really pulled back on the horns on this record. Why? Cuba: I was dragging the horns along on every album just because I was thinking that it had something to do with my sound.

But the truth is from the beginning, it wasn’t my idea to start recording horns on my music. It was the idea of a producer I worked with on my first album.

Then it stayed there for some reason – maybe comfort.

LIFE In it for the reward

Joel Krahn/Yukon News

Lynn Sparks is being recognized for her outstanding service with northern First Nations by the Canadian Association of Social Workers.

Myles Dolphin News Reporter

T

he time Lynn Sparks and her son were walking along the beach in Kuujjuaq, a northern Quebec community, is engraved in her mind.

That’s the day they were invited to jump in a boat and tag along on a caribou hunt.

The animal was spotted, shot and brought back to the beach, where it was skinned on the spot.

The Inuit hunters showed Sparks’ son, who was four at the time, how and where to cut the meat, and gave him a chunk to take home.

It’s an experience Sparks cherishes and never would have had if she hadn’t moved there to do social work.

The Whitehorse resident is entering her 30th year in the demanding profession, having worked in remote communities across the country including in Quebec, Ontario, N.W.T. and now Yukon.

Sparks is this year’s Yukon recipient of a Distinguished Service

Award from the Canadian Association of Social Workers.

The award serves to honour “the significant contributions made by the social work profession in support of building stronger families, communities, and a more equitable Canada,” according to the association.

Listening to Sparks speak about her experiences, one word comes back again and again: rewarding.

“You learn so much being with people who come from different cultures, who have different perspectives,” she said.

“Working with Inuit and First Nation people I’ve learned to not take myself so seriously, to roll with things easier, to laugh a bit more and be more flexible.

“I try to figure out what people need and what I can do to help them, rather than being worried about what the rules are all the time.”

Her career in the field began shortly after she obtained her bachelor of social work from McGill University in 1986.

Her first position involved dealing with women’s issues in Blanc

Sablon and other smaller communities along Quebec’s lower north shore. It was challenging because services weren’t well developed and there was very little guidance for new social workers, she said.

“You’re fumbling around, trying to figure out how to put in practice what you learned in your degree,” she said.

“But it’s like that in a lot of northern communities, where you’re struggling with a lack of good policy and supervision.

When you’re brand new to the field, you need that guidance.”

From there she moved back to Montreal, where she had a child, and wound up in Ontario’s cottage country to practise child welfare work in Peterborough and Haliburton County.

Working for the child welfare agency, she received the proper guidance and supervision that would eventually prepare her for a move to Kuujjuaq, where she would become a Jill of all trades between 2003 and 2009.

Although the work was challenging because of the isolation, she describes it as one of the most

enriching experiences of her life.

“It was quite a good life in many ways, you develop close friendships with people and you spend time on the land,” she said.

“We had a snowmobile with a sled and an ATV for the summer.

We even had an Inuit tent with a wood stove inside.

“Being able to get out on the land every weekend, we would take long walks and the kids would run and play, you never had to worry about anything.”

Sparks went back to McGill to do her masters degree, and became involved with Inuit Patient Services in Montreal.

The Inuit of northern Quebec who suffer from serious trauma or illnesses are almost always sent to facilities in Montreal, Sparks said, and she would help them navigate the challenges of living in a big city.

“We would look after them, a lot of the time they’d get in trouble in the city, they weren’t used to having easy access to drugs and alcohol.”

Sparks would organize volunteers to come and run bingo

nights in their boarding homes, while others would come play Irish music.

She also worked with cancer support services in Montreal and coordinated volunteers to visit patients.

“Having to stand by people when they’re going through difficult times, that was another rich experience,” she said.

Since 2010, Sparks has worked with Yukon self-governing First Nations.

She’s been running the Ta’an Kwach’an Council’s health and social services programs for the past 18 months.

Up here, there is less emphasis on following the rules and more on meeting people’s needs, she said.

“Sometimes we get caught up with bureaucracy, working for institutions that have a lot of rules, but in the North you get opportunities to work in those institutions in a way that’s more flexible and accommodating. There’s an endless variety in my work, it keeps you from getting stale.”

“It’s pretty awesome. It was an awesome day, my runs were pretty clean, so I had a good time,” said Legoffe. “I’m glad I competed.”

The 19-year-old took the crown by outperforming second place’s Mackenzie Davy and third’s Rachael MacIntosh.

She hit backside boardslides on the rails in the terrain park and performed a front 360 with a tail grab on the jumps.

“I slipped a disc in my back, so I wasn’t doing anything big,” said Legoffe. “I actually learned the backside boardslide last weekend – and backside 50-50s, so I was doing those in the comp today too.”

Legoffe placed sixth in slopstyle at the Canada Winter Games for the highest-ever finish by a Yukoner in snowboarding at the Canada Games, male or female.

Making that result all the more amazing was that the Games was her first slopestyle competition.

“This year she’s been training,

almost exclusively, slopestyle and progressing like I can’t believe,” said Snowboard Yukon head coach Mary Binsted. “To be at the top of the podium this year was a nice reward for all her hard work.

“This is essentially her first year competing ever.”

What impressed Binsted the most, she said, were the performances from the under-12 boys boarders. High-flying Sammy Mather defended his title from last year in the division.

“I think the big story is our 12-and-under category,” said Binsted. “(They) were riding the entire terrain park with all the big jumps at the bottom.

“Those are very big jumps and we definitely haven’t seen anything like that the last four or five years, so the progression is amazing.”

“Some of the younger riders, in four or five years, are going to be doing top-level competition,” added Schirmer.

S

peed and agility led to Simapalooza glory on Sunday.

Twenty-six boarders and 20 skiers raced the Yukon Snowboardcross and Skiercross Championships, hosted by Snowboard Yukon, at Mount Sima on Sunday.

“It was really fun,” said Mackenzie Davy. “The course was kind of icy, but other than that, it was a really nice day.

“It feels super good (to win).

Boardercross is super fun. It was good to race.”

After qualifying with the second fastest time behind defending champ Crystal Legoffe, Davy edged out Legoffe in the final to win the open female division for snowboardcross.

Legoffe took second in front of third place’s Rachel MacIntosh.

Davy, 17, was the only Yukoner to make it past the qualifying round in snowboardcross at the Canada Winter Games this past February.

“I think I had one of my better starts for boardercross and that helped me out in the beginning,” said Davy. “In the first corner Crystal and I were neck-and-neck. I just managed to get in front of her, but she was right behind me the whole time.”

Whitehorse’s Gabe Rivest considers himself “more of a freestyle guy” on the snowboard, but that wasn’t evident Sunday.

After posting the fastest qualifying time on the course, the 28-year-old cruised through the semi and final to

regain the Yukon title that he last held two years ago.

It was close but no cigar once again for Mount Lorne’s Tim Schirmer. The 16-year-old placed second for the third year in a row ahead of third place’s Tyler Nichol, who designed the course.

“Tyler did a great job with it this year,” said Rivest. “It was nice that he had it on all winter so it gave everyone a better chance to train on it.

“I’d say it was fairly technical, especially the way the gates were set up. The corners were pretty tight and it was super icy, so it made it quite challenging.”

Both second-place finishers in the open categories – Legoffe and Schirmer – won slopestyle titles at the Yukon Snowboard Championships the previous day.

Sam Riemer outpaced last year’s masters winner, Jarrid Davy, to win the open men’s skiercross title.

Isabelle Gagnon, the event’s lone open female racer, was crowned the Yukon champ for women’s skiercross.

ith a 50-foot jump to launch off, the big air competition at Simapalooza could have been called huge air.

Eight skiers and seven snowboarders took part in the competition during Mount Simaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season-ending Simapalooza festival on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a rule, 720 was the biggest you could do, so I just did a back seven,â&#x20AC;? said Whitehorseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brandon Cormier. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was my first time in a Sima event, I never go in them.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty funny.â&#x20AC;?

Cormierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Sima comp went well. The 19-year-old completed a backside 720 to place first in the snowboard competition.

Table Tennis Yukon seeks fresh talent for Greenland Games Tom Patrick News Reporter

T

able Tennis Yukon is on the hunt for young players.

In an effort to recruit players for the 2016 Arctic Winter Games in Greenland, the association will host a school tournament on Saturday at Whitehorse Elementary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought I might try to find some new blood,â&#x20AC;? said Dave Stockdale, president of Table Tennis Yukon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people went to the Canada Games and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gone on to other things, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of rebuilding for Arctic Winter Games 2016. So I thought why not get a high school and elementary school event going.â&#x20AC;?

The Yukon Schools Ping Pong Championships will offer both elementary and high school divisions. It will use a two-player team format, with singles and doubles play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a few entries so far,â&#x20AC;? said Stockdale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a full boys team and a full girls team from F.H. (Collins Secondary), I have one entry from Porter Creek (Secondary) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hopefully a get another one. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anything from (Ecole) Emilie-Tremblay or Christ the King (Elementary) or Vanier (Catholic Secondary). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Elementary is a bit of a shot in the dark. I just realized this morning some of those kids probably havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played much and probably are not too confident about playing in a tournament when they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a lot of training.â&#x20AC;?

To enter, players can fill out an entry form at Sport Yukon or sign up in person at Whitehorse Elementary School â&#x20AC;&#x201C; through the gymnasium door in the back of the building â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wednesday evening. Schools have also been sent entry forms, said Stockdale, and must be submitted before Thursday.

The tournament will begin Saturday at 1 p.m. and will be followed by the Yukon Table Tennis Championships on Sunday.

Dustin Byfuglien and Mark Giordano, respectively.

One of the big keys is Chicago’s depth, from the top line of Brandon Saad, Toews and Marian Hossa down to players like veteran Brad Richards and 20-yearold rookie Teuvo Teravainen.

“I think it’s a special team,” Vermette said. “If you look at the lineup, the individuals within this team is pretty impressive, a lot of great players. And I think the way that we approach the game with all the skills that this team, I think it’s really checking first and being good defensively with great goaltending (and) defence is really solid. Then you’ve got all those skills up front, too.”

The Blackhawks are so deep that it looks like Vermette could be a healthy scratch for Game 1.

He was not on one of the four lines at practice Tuesday but isn’t likely to sit for long.

No matter the lineup as the playoffs develop, coach Joel Quenneville said late last month that his Blackhawks were playing with a more defensive mind-set and a better team game. The hope

is to find consistent offensive production and balance throughout.

“We still feel we can be better,” Quenneville said.

How much better the Blackhawks can be with Kane back is a

scary proposition for the Predators and the rest of the Western Conference.

“When he comes back, he’s only going to make this team stronger,” Saad said.

Winnipeg Jets NHL playoff tickets sell out in less than five minutes Canadian Press WINNIPEG ets fans have long waited for playoff hockey to return to Winnipeg, but only the quickest and luckiest will get to see it happen in person.

The Jets announced today that individual tickets to Games 3 and 4 of their Western Conference quarter-final series against Anaheim sold out in less than five minutes.

The announcement comes as little surprise. The Jets boast an enthusiastic fan base that have been waiting 19 years for post-season hockey to return to Manitoba’s capital. Winnipeg’s 15,016-seat MTS Centre also has the smallest capacity in the NHL. Fans last week greeted the news that playoff hockey is set to return to the city by pouring into the streets, flying Jets flags, and snapping up jerseys and other whitecoloured gear.

“My wife told me ‘get down there, get (T-shirts) for the family,’” said Eric Troniak, one of several dozen people who lined up early outside the NHL team’s official store at MTS Centre. He snagged five white T-shirts within minutes of the store’s opening Friday, and navigated through crowded aisles to get to the cash register.

The celebrations started Thursday night, moments after the Jets clinched a playoff berth. Hundreds of fans gathered at the intersection

J

of Portage Ave and Main St. – the same sport where, in the mid1990’s, Troniak and thousands of others rallied in an attempt to stop the original, money-losing Jets from leaving the city.

“That really tore the heart out of the city, and the Jets coming back (in 2011) really invigorated the city,” he said.

Fred Carpenter got into the store Friday morning and made a beeline for a $99 white jersey.

“I wanted to wear something white … I’m so excited to see the whiteout again,” said Carpenter, who attended the last Jets playoff series against the Detroit Red Wings.

The whiteout was a tradition for fans of the original Jets franchise. They’d try to create a sea of

white clothing in the old Winnipeg Arena in a show of support for their team.

The new franchise, which registered the term “whiteout” as a trademark when the team moved from Atlanta to Winnipeg, will be resurrecting the tradition.

As soon as the playoff spot was clinched, the team’s official Twitter account issued a tweet that read “A storm is coming! #WPGWhiteout.”

Posters of some of the team’s top players, altered to make it appear as if they were in a snowstorm, were put up outside MTS Centre.

Others took a different approach. The city’s firefighters’ union announced Friday all fire trucks in the city will be adorned with a Jets flag on the back for this year’s playoff run.

“So every time you see them going to an emergency call, whether it’s a fire or a medical emergency,

you’re going to see the Jets flag flying proudly,” union president Alex Forrest said.

The Jets’ series with the Ducks opens with games Thursday and Saturday in Anaheim.

The series returns to Winnipeg next week for games Monday and Wednesday.

EXPRESSION OF INTEREST GRAVEL SOURCES WITHIN THE WHITEHORSE CORRIDOR Interested parties are invited to submit expressions of interest relating to Yukon government’s Transportation Engineering Branch (the “Branch”), Highways and Public Works (HPW), invites construction and consulting companies to participate in an open house to discuss gravel sources within the Whitehorse corridor. Based on 50 year gravel projections, including possible upgrades and ongoing maintenance to the Whitehorse corridor, HPW is considering sourcing gravel from private developers for some future projects. Private sector interest and information with respect to potential sources can help us to further explore this strategy.

HPW is currently holding public consultation on the draft functional plan for the Whitehorse corridor and will host several open house meetings. As part of this consultation, interested construction and consulting companies are invited to attend a special session pertaining to gravel sources from 1:00 to 3:00 pm, Friday, 24 April 2015 at the Yukon Transportation Museum, 30 Electra Crescent, Whitehorse, Yukon. The geotechnical background report is included in the functional plan. The report can be viewed on the Whitehorse corridor consultation website at: https://www. placespeak.com/uploads/assets/ BACKGROUND_REPORT_ Geotechnical.pdf Written submissions are not required. Questions pertaining to this Expressions of Interest will be considered up to the end of the day on 23 April 2015 and can be directed to Sandra Orban at 867-332-7935.

Questions received will be answered and all questions and answers will be made available during the open house.

Correspondence associated with this EOI will not be ranked or used to pre-qualify or assess the respondent’s ability to provide goods or services.

Written submissions clearly marked with the above project title, will be received up to April 23, 2015, at Procurement Support Centre, Department of Highways and Public Works, Suite 101 - 104 Elliott Street, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 0M2.
