The Yukon Liberals want to turn this territorial election into a walk in the park. McIntyre Park, to be precise.
The party announced Wednesday afternoon it wants to permanently protect the McIntyre Creek area – which is already a regional park.
The announcement was made more as a vision statement than a plan with details by incumbent Porter Creek candidate Ranj Pillai during a streamed news conference.
Pillai referred a number of reporters’ questions to a 2020 study on the area. Those questions included the extent of land under consideration, which Pillai didn’t know.
The report pegged the land at roughly 4,600 hectares.
