Tiny house nears completion

Over the past few months a small house has been taking shape  on the Ayamdigut campus in Whitehorse.

It was built though a program called Building Stability, aimed at giving youth an introduction to basic carpentry and fundamental skills for employment.

The project is a partnership between the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN), the Government of Yukon, and Yukon College’s Centre for Northern Innovation in Mining. 

Once the structure is complete, it will be transported to Haines Junction to become crisis housing for CAFN citizens.
