Nice that the Mackenzie Highway is now a priority. Be nice to see one pushed up through Churchill as well. As for the FOLs, Iqaluit and Yellowknife will be part of the overall expansion that was previously mentioned. Iqaluit requiring the most infrastructure increase. Including new water and sanitary plants. A new power generation facility of a new hydro dam.

Yukon is left out but the Inuvik FOL can easily cover that. Cambridge Bay may also get a new port facility.

Here's a reasonably interesting project I just stumbled across in Whitehorse:

800 kms of the MacKenzie Highway moves forward. Long been planned not moving ahead. A lot of bridges are needed. And maybe replace the ferry crossing with bridges.

May not be a major impact for YEG but with the MacKenzie Highway completion now on the books that will reduce travel time to Inuvik by almost a day. But may also increase equipment travel through the summers now. Currently ma good portion travel to the Dempster moves through YEG at some point but this would refocus more. Highways 2 and 88 would need significant upgrades as well. The real benefit would be raw materials coming out of the north. I could see refining facilities opening up.

This however will be 10 years to complete.

It would be interesting to see more updates on housing projects in places like Whitehorse, Iqaluit, Yellowknife, and Labrador City, since those could have a major impact on local affordability and long-term population growth.

Yellowknife and Whitehorse will be easy to find. Iqaluit is a bit tougher. But we shall see, there are a couple of big projects completing this summer.

Plans are in for a major apartment in Yellowknife. Near the old Bay Store.

All 3 cities are going to need to add a lot more housing if the military upgrades are to move forward.

Inuvik is getting a new water distribution system and I think YK is as well.

Iqaluit requires a lot more. Water, Sewage and a new power system.

The Iqaluit Nukkiksautiit Hydro Project is a proposed 15-30 megawatt hydropower plant along the Kuugaluk River, about 60 km northeast of Iqaluit.

There is this, approved on Weds night. proposed 116-unit public housing development for the base of Iqaluit’s Hospital Hill received city council approval Tuesday night.

Councillors unanimously approved a development permit for the two 58-unit, five-storey structures.
