A Update from the Dawson Sewage Lagoon Working Group

The City of Dawson, Yukon Government, and Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in have a cooperative working group exploring possibilities for a new sewage lagoon for Dawson. Working together, they have created a background primer on sewage lagoons and their impact on our ecology, economy, and community development plans. You can find it here.

The working group has also created an interactive map of proposed locations for a new sewage lagoon for Dawson, with important heritage, harvest, and economic development areas clearly labelled. You can find it here.

There will be a Citizens-only info session on Monday, February 24, where Citizens can ask questions and identify their concerns. The following evening (Tuesday, February 25), there will be an info session that is open to all community members.

Please take a moment to have a look at the details of this important plan for key infrastructure, and stay tuned for more information on times and locations of community meetings. Your knowledge and feedback are a vital part of moving forward in a good way.
