Budget must improve lives in small communities, says Yakeleya – Cabin Radio
February 27, 2025
Dehcho MLA Sheryl Yakeleya says there is not enough emphasis in the NWT’s draft budget on strengthening the economies of small communities.
She described a “striking difference” between the economic outlook in Yellowknife, regional centres and small communities.
“There is a divide between those who have, who are living in bigger centres and communities, and those who have not in the small communities,” she said.
Yakeleya and five other regular MLAs spent some of Tuesday’s sitting at the legislature sharing their views on the budget.
