Background Paving a portion of the Pine Lake Trail was listed in the 2020 Provisional Capital/Projects Budget which was presented at the November 27, 2019 Council Meeting. Council requested more information on the Pine Lake Trail including: • Date of paving existing trail; • Amount of maintenance completed on existing trail; and, • Chronology of Trans-Canada Trail Grant application. Current Status The date of paving the portion of the trail is believed to have occurred in 2008. Under the trail between the Weigh Scale to the Raven Hotel is a waterline. The Yukon Government paid for the installation of the waterline and paving of the trail. There has been very little maintenance (hot patching) on the paved portion of the trail. The chronology of the trail grant application is described in Appendix “A”. Prepared by __________________ Noelle Palmer, Office Administrator ____________________ Dan Rodin, CAO Appendix “A” Pine Lake Trail Chronology August 2018 The Village is notified of a 2019/20 Trans Canada Trail Capital Improvement Program funding opportunity. CAO Clarke directs and approves an application to BST the unpaved portion of the trail within the municipal boundaries to make it more accessible, along with the purchase of two benches, to be completed in 2019. Based on quotes received, the total cost of the project was estimated to be $451,685.45: - $444,9000 trail building (max grant requested of $150,000) - $6,785.45 trail infrastructure (max grant requested of $2,374.91 – being 35%) Application submitted August 24, 2018 February and March 2019 The Village receives tentative approval in February and requested additional information, including proof of matching funds. This request went forward to Council at their February 27, 2019, meeting. *See February 27, 2019 Pine Lake Trail Grant Agenda Item for backup information, including application, funding budget and funding schedule presented to Council* Minutes of February 27, 2019: February 27, 2019: TCT approves extending the project to 2020. March 25, 2019: TCT gives the Village official approval of a $152,500 grant. Summer 2019 Minutes from July 24, 2019: Minutes from August 14, 2019 October 2019 Associated Engineering provides a technical report. Asphalt surfacing is recommended for longevity. The new estimated cost is at $1,014,000. The report is brought forward to Council and forwarded to the Trans Canada Trail coordinator. *See Engineering Report* Minutes from October 23, 2019: November 2019 On November 25, 2019, the TCT coordinator contacts the Village for an update. Administration informs her that a line has been included in the draft 2020 provisional capital/projects budget for $500,000 towards trail paving, i.e. to complete half of the overall trail. Administration requests confirmation that this project would still be eligible for the $152,500 grant. The TCT coordinator requests further information, including which portion of the trail is to be paved in 2020. She also suggests that additional funding may be available, either through this grant or through a future grant for 2021. The Provisional Capital and Projects budget was brought forward for 1st and 2nd reading on November 27, 2019. On November 28, 2019, Administration contacted the TCT coordinator to confirm funding and was requested to submit a revised budget, schedule and roles to allow TCT to better understand costs and eligible expenses for the 2020 project.

This period witnessed a devolution of power from the federal government to the Yukon government that resulted in a shift of the day-to-day political tensions and disputes in Yukon moving from a federal-territorial orientation to a territorial-local one. Two key themes are consistently present in Yukon’s political and educational history.
