The Government of Yukon is releasing 76 lots by public lottery in the Whistle Bend subdivision.

The draw will take place in room 1A 300 Main Street Elijah Smith Building at 1 p.m. on August 28 2019.Releasing these lots now will allow the new owners to begin development in the 2019 building season. Another 119 residential lots in Whistle Bend and some infill lots will be available by lottery this fall. Following these lotteries work is underway to release commercial lots along Keno Way early in 2020 which will complete phases three and four of the Whistle Bend subdivision.This latest release of lots continues the Government of Yukons efforts to increase land and housing availability to support healthy and vibrant communities. Increasing supply will result in more housing options in the future as commercial and private builders develop neighbourhoods in the territory.For public safety there will be restricted access to view the 76 lots as they are in an active construction site.
