Webinar (General Public): A Guide For Developing Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing
2024-11-25 12:00 - 13:30 (America/Whitehorse) | Yukon
In April 2024, Council adopted Bylaw 2024-16, a bylaw to amend the Zoning Bylaw to enable a wider range of opportunities for residential development within the City’s neighbourhoods.
To promote these changes and assist prospective developers with the implementation of these new regulations, the City staff will present a Guide for Developing Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing.
The guide will include a summary of the new zoning regulations, design considerations for implementation, such as development regulations, building code and engineering regulations, fees and charges, potential unit configurations and resources available to assist developers.
City staff will give a presentation summarizing the contents of the document and be available for questions and comments after the presentation.
This webinar is geared towards the general public. Register at events.teams.microsoft.com/event/
Another webinar geared towards developers is scheduled for November 28.

Tobogganing Fridays
2024-11-29 16:00 - 18:00 | Shipyards Park
Every Friday, from November 15 to March 14, children and caregivers are invited to join us for sledding and hot chocolate at Shipyards Park. We’ll be there from 4 to 6 pm. We hope to see you too!
Bring your sleds! We’ll have a few sleds for those who don’t have access to one.
Guardian supervision is required at all times. Kids 5 and under should have a responsible adult with them on the sled. Cancelled if -20 or colder. Brr!
Staying Safe
• Go down the hill sitting up or kneeling on the sled. Don’t go down the hill head first or flat on your back. It’s much easier to hurt your head or spine in these positions.
• When you get to the bottom of the hill, move quickly out of the way, and walk up the side of the hill away from others.
Gear and Clothing
• Check your sled to make sure it’s in good shape before you use it.
• Dress in warm layers including; mittens instead of gloves; warm, dry, waterproof boots that aren’t too tight; a neck warmer instead of scarf; clothes without drawstrings and a hat that keeps ears covered.
• Wear a helmet (hockey, ski, or snowboard type). If possible, wear a ski helmet because they’re made for cold weather and for similar falls and speeds.
Contact our Parks and Community Development team at parks@whitehorse.ca if you have any questions.
