MIL-OSI Canada: The Government of Canada and Government of Yukon invests in new building for Biathlon Yukon

This is a joint news release between the Government of Yukon and the Government of Canada.

A new building for Biathlon Yukon is coming thanks to a joint investment of more than $2.9 million from the federal and territorial governments.

This was announced by Member of Parliament for the Yukon Dr. Brendan Hanley and the Minister of Community Services Richard Mostyn.

The new building for Biathlon Yukon in Whitehorse will replace the existing facilities, which have exceeded their life cycle. The new space will support the growing interest in this sport and be used for upcoming events such as the 2026 Arctic Winter Games. Included in the new facility will be improved accessibility, expanded spaces, upgraded water and heating systems and better parking and driving routes to the building. With improved features and a renewed lifespan, the new building will provide a healthy and more inviting recreational space for the community for years to come.

Biathlon Yukon is a volunteer driven, not-for-profit society that has been promoting and developing the sport of biathlon in the Yukon since 1985. The new building will be operated by the not-for-profit organization, providing a community-focused, non-commercial space for its athletes.
