New Community Services Building opens in Faro

This new Community Services Building will support the safety and wellbeing of Yukoners living in Faro and will help create a stronger community. Through our collaborative work with our federal partners, we have been able to build this new, energy-efficent facility that will serve the residents of Faro for generations to come. 

I am so pleased to celebrate the opening of the new energy-efficient Community Services Building here in Faro. This facility is a step forward in developing essential infrastructure in the community and will improve public safety. The Government of Canada will continue to support projects like the one announced today, because we know that when our small communities thrive – we all benefit.

Faro has benefitted from several much-needed improvements in our water and sewer systems as a result of the joint Canada-Yukon Infrastructure Grant Program. Our new Community Services Building is the first new building of its kind in many years in Faro that is not directly tied to our water sewer infrastructure. It’s a building we all can be proud of. Our Fire Department, EMS volunteers and our Public Works crew are all anxiously awaiting the occupancy of our new building. Most important to me is that the new Public Services Building symbolizes that Faro is again on the rise. We see our community growing and this new building is evidence of that. Our community wishes to express our thanks to our federal and territorial governments for their continued support for municipal infrastructure funding.
