The Yukon government has filed a $17.3-million lawsuit against a contractor and insurance company after a project to build an arena in Carmacks was never completed.
Contractor Scott Design Build Inc. signed a nearly $14.6-million construction contract with the Yukon government in 2018 for the 2,500-square-metre facility that was originally supposed to be completed by November 2020.
