Strengthening regional construction capacity is vital to meeting the increasing demand for housing in the North. This is why the Government of Canada is working with businesses and organizations in the Yukon to expand operations, update equipment, and strengthen manufacturing capabilities.
Today, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced more than $2.3 million toward three projects in the Yukon. This funding, delivered through CanNor, will help First Kaska Construction purchase new equipment to upgrade its home manufacturing facility. It will support the construction of NGC Builders' new prefabrication facility. Finally, it will help RAB Energy, operating as Northerm Windows and Doors, expand commercial aluminum operations in Whitehorse.
These businesses are growing to help meet the increasing demand for housing in the Yukon. Through investments like this, the Government of Canada is supporting the prosperity and success of businesses and communities across the North.
