Yukon details more than $23 million for school buildings, including Whitehorse roof

Yukon will spend more than $23 million on school infrastructure in 2027-28, according to details released Tuesday. Nearly a quarter will replace the leaky roof of École Émilie-Tremblay, a French-language elementary school in Whitehorse, at a cost of $5.35 million; the school board says work will happen this summer. Other projects include $1.35 million for a new roof at Teslin's Khàtìnas.àxh school, $4.8 million for four modular classrooms at busy schools and $1.2 million for studies and early work on a new Whitehorse Elementary building at Valleyview. Some school projects had been folded into the Highways and Public Works budget.
