Whitehorse Eyes $86M Capital Budget as Yukon Invests $23M in Schools

Whitehorse unveils proposed $86 million capital budget

Whitehorse has proposed a capital budget of nearly $86 million, but only about one-third of that funding is currently secured. The remaining roughly $57 million is expected to come from other levels of government. Because much of the plan depends on outside funding, the final scope of the budget will hinge on those external commitments.

Education Minister Scott Kent said presenting estimates in the fall aligns budgeting with procurement timelines, giving contractors more time to start work in spring during Yukon's short construction season.
