Site preparation for the new Dawson recreation centre will be underway

The Government of Yukon will begin clearing trees and bushes at the site for the new Dawson recreation centre, in advance of site preparation occurring this summer. This work must be completed prior to bird nesting season on May 1 so no birds can nest there prior to construction.  

Residents can expect an increase in traffic and equipment in the area during the day, starting this week until work is completed. Residents should follow all safety precautions put in place by the contractor.
