Yukoners will soon have their say on new rules for the backcountry.

In a document filed to theYukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Board, the federal government callsrecommendations for carbon offsetting at the Faro mine "aspirational, but ultimately not feasible to execute."

New councils have been elected at St Francis of Assisi Catholic Secondary School, Holy Family Elementary,and Christ the King Elementary. A record number of ballots were cast this year.

The school cancelled classes at Holy Family school last Friday due to a conflict with a parent the previous day, triggering a hold-and-secure and an RCMP investigation. Parents were told there would be a security guard on school grounds this week.

The legislation change, passed by Yukon MLAs last week, will help students to take locally developed classes for high school credit.

The funds will upgrade the Yukon side of the highway, which runs between Destruction Bay and the Yukon/Alaska border, also known as the Shakwak corridor.

The board says it's experiencing 'organizational challenges' because ofa record-number of active assessments.
