The federal government announced up to $80 million in funding to address housing supply chain issues in northern and remote communities.
Ahmed Hussen, federal minister of housing and diversity and inclusion, made the announcement Wednesday morning during a virtual news conference along with Northern Affairs Minister Daniel Vandal and Yukon MP Brendan Hanley.
“The barriers created by the climate and by the distance are immense, and so are the costs, but they are not insurmountable,” said Vandal.
