The Yukon government has provided $25,000 in Canadian funds to the Salvation Army Alaska Division to support relief and recovery efforts in Haines, Alaska.
The contribution will go toward December’s South East Alaska Winter Storm Response to help families who are in need of emergency support after the
devastating storm and landslides that killed two people.
It also builds on the government’s immediate efforts to clear the Alaska Highway and facilitate the movement of support from the rest of Alaska.
“Our shared geography with Alaska makes us neighbours, but our shared interests make us friends,” Premier Sandy Silver said Wednesday.
