Yukon still waiting for federal support to build flooding mitigation infrastructure

WHITEHORSE — The Yukon government says the territory is “patiently waiting” for federal support for building mitigation infrastructure after severe flooding in the Klondike Valley this spring.
Premier Ranj Pillai says the territory has launched an $8-million financial assistance program for the flood’s victims as the Yukon moves from emergency response to recovery support.
The program will provide up to $250,000 for eligible residential damages and losses, rising to $500,
