A proposal to increase Yellowknife’s Street Outreach funding for services including a paramedic, a retrofitted van, and more harm reduction and first aid tools was officially rejected by city council on Tuesday.
Civic administration said Yellowknife's delayed 2024 budget will be "tight and frugal," during a meeting Monday where councillors turned down a handful of funding requests from stakeholders and community members.
A bargaining update sent to some union workers Tuesday around 11 a.m., which CBC has obtained a copy of, states that the city has informed the union it is unable to budge on wages, "amongst other things."
