WHITEHORSE — The federal government is contributing $45 million to help prevent landslides along the Whitehorse Escarpment with the aim to protect the land under Whitehorse International Airport and its access road to the Yukon's capital.
A statement from Infrastructure Canada says there's a plan to move the route farther away from the base of the escarpment to reduce the risks posed by slides. In addition to $45 million, Emergency Preparedness Minister Harjit Sajjan announced just over $8.7 million in disaster financial assistance to help Yukon recover from springtime flooding over the last three years.
