Upgrades are coming to the Canada Games Centre in the Yukon. The multi-use community recreation and wellness facility serves the City of Whitehorse and surrounding communities.

The federal government announced an investment of more than $4.5 million through the COVID-19 Resilience Infrastructure Stream of the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The City of Whitehorse is contributing $2,475,000 to this project.

The facility serves about 735,000 people throughout the year and is open 16 hours per day, seven days a week. Its pool section HVAC requires a significant upgrade to improve air quality, ventilation, and address the effects of the high humidity. The project will also install new insulation in the area to improve overall energy efficiency in the building.
