The remediation project is managed by Parsons Inc. on behalf of the Government of Canada, with oversight and input from the Kaska Nations, the Government of Yukon, and local stakeholders. This multi-decade initiative is focused on protecting human health, restoring the environment, and maximizing economic opportunities for Yukon communities.
