正文(英文) | News releaseMarch 4, 2020 – Whitehorse, Yukon A report from leading Canadian scientists shows that Canada’s North is warming three times as fast as the global average. That’s why the Government of Canada is working with the Government of Yukon to reduce pollution, make life more affordable, and support a strong and sustainable economy in the North. Today, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, the Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, announced up to $2.3 million to support a climate action initiative by the Government of Yukon. He was joined by the Member of Parliament for Yukon, the Honourable Larry Bagnell, as well as Yukon’s Minister of Highways and Public Works and Minister of the Public Service Commission, the Honourable Richard Mostyn. This investment will go toward connecting an existing biomass heating system currently used at the Whitehorse Correctional Centre’s to two additional public buildings: the Young Offenders Facility and Takhini Haven. This clean heating system will reduce emissions by 82 percent. That’s equivalent to removing approximately 3,460 cars from the road for one year. This project will be the largest biomass project in Whitehorse and one of the largest in Yukon. The funding comes from the Government of Canada’s Low Carbon Economy Fund, an important part of Canada’s climate plan. The Fund invests in projects that reduce carbon pollution, save money, and create good jobs in a clean economy. Canada’s climate plan is on track to deliver the largest emissions reduction in the country’s history. But these initiatives are just the beginning. The Government will continue to bring forward new and enhanced climate action measures to exceed our 2030 target and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Quotes
