Message from the Mayor

Jack Bowers

It may be a me such as this that the Town of Faro needs to stand up to Yukon Government over the cost of opera ng our landfill. At present the Town receives next to nothing from the Yukon Government, from either YG Highways and Parks Departments nor from the residents along the Campbell Highway, all of which are now using our landfill for disposal of their assorted types of landfill waste. YG Community Development staff have been promising us that this would change but, for the last almost two years, the Drury Creek transfer sta on has been closed and we know most, if not all, of the waste that was ini ally sent to Drury Creek is now coming to our facility. The taxpayers of Faro are, in effect, subsidizing those users outside our boundary without our consent.

Recently Environment Yukon required Faro to develop a new ten-year (2023-2033) Solid Waste Management Plan, and that new plan places significant addi onal opera ng costs on the community to manage our landfill. And while we are not opposed to the higher level of effort required to manage our landfill, we were also expec ng some relief from YG in helping offset the increased costs of the landfill opera ons. In effect, we are now compelled to hire and cer fy a Landfill Operator under the new management plan whereas, in the past, we were largely able to use exis ng staff to operate the landfill.

We know that prior to closing the transfer sta on at Drury Creek, YG Community Service was contribu ng $50,000/year to YG – Department of Highways and Public Works to cover the cost of opera ons there. Once that loca on was closed, that funding should have automa cally been advanced to Faro without us having to ask for it.

What makes ma ers worse is the fact that every other Yukon community, other than the City of Whitehorse, have their landfill opera ons totally subsidized by YG. It’s me for YG Community Development to pony up and pay their fair share of our landfill opera ons. We will start with an annual bulk payment of $50,000/year, plus the regular pping fees for those users outside the municipal boundaries who are not paying property taxes directly to the Town of Faro. A er all, it is a ‘ user pay’ system that we operate under.

You can help by contac ng Richard Mostyn, the Minister for Community Development, and voicing your support for YG to make an equitable share in covering our landfilling costs.

INSIDE THIS ISSUE

“I have to Pee!!!” As a parent to three children, this is something I o en hear. The problem is there is nowhere to safely stop between Carmacks and Faro. This results in pulling over in a plow turn around and taking small children out of the vehicle to sit on the po y seat and praying that no big trucks come by. I am just thankful I am no longer changing diapers on the side of the Robert Campbell Highway.

By Jennifer Brooker

ry Commi ee, has been lobbing the Town and Yukon Government to create a safe rest area, with Interpre ve signs and informa on, with li le to no avail.

Ge ng an outhouse and a safe place to stop has been something that the communi es of both Faro and Ross River have been trying to achieve for some years now. June Hampton, Member of the Tourism and Economic Development Adviso-

One problem is that every me the Town start to gain movement, staff changes and plans are put on the back burner only to be forgo en. The other is that building an interpre ve site with outhouse involves mul ple YG departments. Tourism and Culture can help with the interpre ve site, but Highways needs to agree to maintain one more outhouses, in addi on to the many they already maintain along the other Yukon Highways. And local First Naons must also agree on the locaon and informa on being displayed. Ge ng this many people, with busy schedules, together is next to impossible. Our Outhouse just isn’t on their priority lists. This leaves residents of Faro and Ross River to “ pop-a-squat” on the side of the road when Nature Calls. With how difficult it is to get young children to use a po y on the side of the highway, or for myself and older children to hike a few meters into the woods, everyone hoping we don’t see any wildlife while taking care of business. I can only image the struggle some of our elders have, let alone those with mobility

and/or incon nence issues, because there are no op ons. Even with the stop at Columbia/Eagle Rock, it is s ll over 100km before the rest stop at the Faro Entrance. In the winter, when condi ons are not ideal and the campgrounds are not plowed or maintained, it can easily be a 2-hour drive with no washroom. Wai ng for be er weather is not always an op on. Residents o en have no choice. Almost everyone has to make a trip into Whitehorse for medical appointments, grocery shopping, or other essen al reasons. Our Community and our Council know the struggle. In May of 2022, Mayor Bowers and Council had a mee ng with the Minister of Community Services and asked the Minister and his staff to look into this. Almost a year later, and we s ll have no word on when an outhouse will be installed between Eagle Rock and the Faro Entrance.

It is me for the community to come together and let the Yukon Government know that this is not acceptable. The Town Office encourages every resident, who has felt unsafe having to “Pop-a-Squat” along the side of the Robert Campbell Highway, to write a le er to YG reques ng an outhouse between Carmacks and Faro be a priority.

Message from the CAO

Larry

Baran

And it’s already February...

Most everyone knows that I was the CAO in Faro before, and I can honestly say that 2023 Faro is quite different from 2004 Faro. The community is growing, so there is a demand for housing. There is a demand for more residen al lots. There is a demand for more commercial property. There are regular inquiries about industrial land, so I’m working with YG Lands Branch to bring more parcels to market. Council also wants to see both vacant residen al and commercial property on the market before summer.

I learned years ago that a community is a living, breathing organism that is either growing or dying. There is no middle ground. Many of us have been bi ng our tongues about the underground infrastructure work taking place in Faro, but that work is a posi ve indicator to business and investors that this community is preparing to be here for another 50 years.

Some people may be nervous about Faro growing again. While Mayor & Council don’t foresee Faro having a popula on of 2,500 people any me soon, they are preparing for a popula on of 600 or 700 in the next 5 to 10 years.

Official Community Plan Retreat

Remember: Growth is healthy. Children and young families are a posi ve sign for any community I’ve worked in a few NWT Northern communi es where the communi es offered no future for their youth, so their youth stayed long enough to get their local educa on, then moved out, never to return and live there again. Faro needs to look at ensuring that there is a future for families here or suffer the same fate. As a resident of Haines, Alaska once told me, “Sure, it’s beau ful here, but you can’t live on sunsets. We need jobs for our kids.”

Last Fall, Mayor & Council started a process to review and update Faro’s Official Community Plan (OCP). That document, coupled with a review of the Zoning Bylaw, will determine where and how Faro will grow in the future. The last OCP review was completed in 2013 ten years ago. This new OCP should be completed this coming summer and, as I men oned earlier, much has happened in Faro in just the last few years. The old plans from 2013 do not reflect what is happening now. Mayor & Council will need the par cipa on of the community in developing the plans for the coming years. I know that there will be more community engagement ini a ves in the coming months, so I hope that everyone will take the opportunity to provide your comments and input at those mee ngs.

At the same me that the community residents have been consulted about what the residents would like to see in the new Official Community Plan (OCP), Mayor & Council have also needed an opportunity to provide their own comments and concerns. So, on Saturday, February 4, Mayor, Council, and the CAO gathered with the consultants for a full-day session to discuss what they wanted to see Faro look like in 10 years from now in 2033.

Interes ngly, most of the discussions focused not on where to put the developments (residen al, commercial, and industrial lots), but how to encourage and support community growth over the longterm. So, yes, Council will be preparing to bring some commercial lots to market this summer, but this year more emphasis will be placed on economic development, tourism, and suppor ng private enterprise in the community. There will be more community consulta on in the coming months with the intent of having an Official Community Plan completed by late summer. If you have not already spoken with the Team from Elevator Yukon, make sure you take a few minutes to speak with the when there are in Faro in the Spring.

“Sure, it’s beautiful here, but you can’t live on sunsets. We n d jobs f our kids.”

Annual Property Tax Penalty for Vacant and/or Uninhabitable Residences

CAO, Larry Baran

Administra on is looking at a proposal that will penalize NONRESIDENT property owners who have residen al units that were vacant and/or uninhabitable residen al during the previous twelve (12) months. In those cases, the current property taxes do not cover the costs of maintaining the roads and underground u lity infrastructure. A dra bylaw was forwarded to Community Services to see if meets the criteria of the Yukon Municipal Act

A rough count of vacant residen al units in the community indicates that there are 100+ units that may qualify for the penalty. If Council

accepts the recommenda on to penalize these units at $500 per unit, above any property taxes levied, this could generate about another $50,000+ that could be used to offset the opera ng deficit that we will have in 2023.

Remember, balancing the annual opera ng budgets is very difficult, as our budgets for the last 5 years or so have demonstrated. Around 500 people have been suppor ng a community infrastructure designed to accommodate 2,500 people. As each year passes, this and previous Councils have had to be crea ve in finding ways to make dollars stretch farther. This is not a problem of any Council making bad decisions but, rather, just the opposite. Mayor & Councils have had to make difficult decisions about which maintenance can be budgeted for each year, and how the Town Staff can make things happen.

This is where the non-resident prop-

Request for Proposal Supply of Firewood

Requirements:

¨ 10 cords of firewood

¨ 18" cut length

¨ Max 10" diameter or split

¨ Infested, ro ed, painted, construc on, or waste wood not accepted.

¨ Delivered to Public Works yard within 3 weeks of order

¨ Supplier must have Town of Faro business license

Interested suppliers may provide a quote indica ng the type of wood that will be provided or an approximate percentage of the mix. The quality of the wood will be considered, as well as the price offered; therefore, the lowest price will not necessarily be accepted.

The quote is required by 4:00 pm, Friday, March 17, 2023. Please deliver your quote to the Town Office in a sealed envelope labeled ''SUPPLY OF FIREWOOD 2023.''

erty owners come in. As those people, who have vacant &/or uninhabitable housing, sit on their housing units and do nothing, the Town is s ll required to maintain the water & sewer lines in front of their proper es, as well as plow the snow and repair the roads. Property taxes on vacant &/or uninhabitable housing is assessed lower, so the Town loses revenue from these proper es each year. A vacant &/or uninhabitable housing penalty works to address that inequity. For someone who has a vacant & uninhabitable four-plex, this will increase their property taxes by an addi onal $2,000.00 or more.

To be clear, the Town has no desire to take possession of these units, but it is hoped that this addi onal levy may ‘push’ these property owners to either develop their property or offer the proper es for sale to others who may be interested in buying them.

Town Union Se les Collec ve Agreement

At a recent Regular Council Mee ng, Mayor Jack Bowers noted that the Town has come to an agreement with the Interna onal Union of Opera ng Engineers, Local 115 for a new collec ve agreement that will represent Town Staff un l June 2025.

Says Larry Baran, CAO for the Town, “I especially want to compliment the local staff who sat on the nego a ng commi ee. They were excellent to deal with. At a me when infla on is impac ng many residents in Canada, and the world as a whole, everyone recognized that there is really only one taxpayer and there is no value in raising taxes 10 or 20 percent.”

The collec ve agreement covers all staff working in the Public Works, Recrea on, and Finance departments, including about 12 full- me & part- me permanent staff.

RECREATION N

& EVENTS

Message from the GM of Recrea on & Culture

Denis Bento

Happy Valen ne’s Day!

There is some excellent news to share with you. One of my goals when I started this job, was to get a new floor for the Rec. Centre Gymnasium so community members could have a sustainable place for recrea onal ac vi es and events. In coopera on with Administra on and Council, we were able to secure funding to have a new gymnasium floor. We expect construc on begin this summer.

February and March will be busy with many rec centre and arena ac vi es. The seniors trip to Whitehorse is an excellent example of the dedica on and hard work of the Rec. Staff. The seniors will spend a few days in Whitehorse par cipa ng in many ac vi es such as winter horse back riding, glass blowing, bowling, museum tours, and more.

We have applied for the CPRA Employment Experience Grant; this grant aims to hire a couple of youths to work in the recrea on department. This a great opportunity for the community to provide jobs to our youth. Once approved for this grant, we will post the job posi ons online.

Last but not least, Faro’s Annual Ice Worm Squirm is happening March 3-4. This year should give the Recrea on Department more freedom to have many ac vi es as the pandemic restric ons are no longer in place – we heard the community feedback, and we are bringing back the Ice/Snow Sculpture Compe on; this compe on is before my me, but I heard great stories about it. So get your family or friends to help you get an ice/snow sculpture ready; prizes will be available for First, Second, and Third Place, plus a photo of your ice/snow sculpture in our monthly newsle er and bragging rights! The Complete Event detail and I nerary are available online at faro.ca. Have a great February!

Myka already had these quali es when she started her posi on working with children at the Kids Club a erschool program in Faro, Yukon. But when she completed her work term, she walked away with new skills that she learned on the job - including a greater sense of responsibility, a passion for working with children, and how to prepare for a job interview.

“Having this opportunity meant gaining more confidence,” says Myka, adding that the role immediately appealed to her when she first saw it. “I wanted a job, but one that involved kids because I really like kids. I thought it was going to be a good job for me.”

Her posi on with the Faro community’s Kids Club was funded by the Canadian Parks and Recrea on Associaon’s Youth Employment Experience program. This program, funded by the Government of Canada, is designed to help parks and recrea on organiza ons build capacity, while crea ng employment and skills building opportuni es for youth in the sector.

As part of her job, Myka would help bring children from their school to the town’s community centre, which is located next to the school. Working alongside recreaon staff, she o en played games with the children and helped with cra s and cultural ac vi es.

“We’d all go to the gym and start playing ac vi es, like tag or hide-and-seek. A er the ac vi es we’d go and

have a snack, and then do some more ac vi es,” she says, adding that the experience taught her pa ence and how to work with children.

“I learned that kids are handful,” she laughs.

Denis Bento, the general manager of recrea on and culture for the Town of Faro, says Myka was also given the opportunity to work with a mentor in the town’s recrea on department.

“The mentor was responsible for giving her direc ons, and making sure she was ge ng everything she needed from the program,” he says, adding that Myka also learned on-the-job skills from two other employees. “The goal was to ensure Myka had an opportunity to learn from many employees and also expand her network.”

Bento says that the funding made a huge difference to the small Yukon town which is located 359km from Whitehorse and has a popula on of roughly 500.

It meant that the community could add more resources to provide a er-school recrea onal programming to children in the area, he says.

“We always strive to provide new ac vi es to the community,” Denis explains. “We have the energy and the mo va on, however one of the things we’re always looking for are resources. With the help of the CPRA Youth Employment Experience, we could hire an employee to help us run the Kids Club program.”

He also says Myka brought enthusiasm and leadership to the role, and children in the program had the chance to learn a lot from the teenager.

“Some mes when the kids leave school for the a erschool program, they’re red and don’t have the energy. But with Myka, they were happy,” Denis says, adding that Myka led great ac vi es for the kids such as teaching them how to draw. “It was really nice seeing the kids learn new skills and learning new things. It was fantasc.”

Kara Went, Myka’s guardian, says it was wonderful to see the impact that the job made on Myka – and adds that the experience helped her prepare for the future.

“She’s going to be an adult in a few more years, and it made us very happy to know that one day she’s going to go out into the workforce and she’s going to do just fine,” Kara says

Some New Capital Projects Planned for 2023:

Over the next few months, residents are going to see some new vehicles, maintenance on the Recrea on Centre, and a few new Haul-All garbage bins in the community. At the same me, you will be hearing Mayor & Council talking about the difficulty of balancing the budget.

Why are some purchases happening at a me of fiscal restraint? It’s because Town Council and Administraon have been successfully seeking 100% grant funding sources for these projects. In other words, NONE of those projects are coming out of the property tax dollars that the Town collects each year. All of these projects are 100% covered by grants.

This last year, Mayor & Council have been working with Administra on to review a long list of equipment, vehicles, and other required maintenance, to find funding assistance for these projects. While a few grants are 100%, most are shared at 75/25 or 90/10.

Probably the most high-profile purchase that everyone will see this summer is a new Handi-Bus for the Recrea on Centre. The new Handi-Bus will have a wheel-chair li and will replace the old 11 passenger van. The interior will be configurable to carry up to 16 passengers and no wheelchairs, or up to 8 passengers and 4 wheel-chairs. Again, 100% grant funded. Regre ably, we s ll can find no grants available for a new ice plant for the arena, and Council can’t afford the $1.3M required to purchase & install that new unit. S ll, Canadian communi es con nue to lobby the Federal Government for more funding. With a new funding cycle star ng April 1, Faro is not the only community in the Yukon or Canada that needs infrastructure ‘maintenance’ funding. The Federal Government is placing new emphasis on maintaining the buildings and assets that we have now, so we are hoping to see some new funding being made available.

This last year, Town located about $1.5M in 100% grants for equipment and smaller projects. And that does not include the $16M for the new Community Services Building, or the millions for replacing the underground infrastructure. Administra on expects 2023 to be a good year for the Town as we con nue to research more grant opportuni es for Faro.

Dena Cho Trail Project

The Dena Cho Trail Project will be completed before the end of this month. Three new bridges were built, and a large sec on of new, safer trail was added, as well as clearing the access to Swim Lakes.

The Dena Cho Trail is a historical trail that links Ross River to the Faro area and was in use genera ons before Faro was developed. For those who haven’t made the trip, there are four cabins on the way for those who need to overnight or simply rest up. Whether a summer hiking trip, or a winter snowmobile adventure, the Dena Cho Trail is beau ful all year round.

Community Development Fund

The Town of Faro thanks the many volunteers and workers who have contributed their me and energy in redeveloping the Dena Cho Trail, for the Rangers who have maintained the cabins, and the Community Development Fund that provided substan al funding in 2022 for the restora on and redevelopment of the Dena Cho Trail.
