Addressing Community Flooding in Carmacks and Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation (LSCFN), Yukon
FY 2024-25 · 2025-03-19
Summary
The Village of Carmacks and LSCFN has been experiencing serious and disruptive flooding of the downtown core, several homes, cabins and fish camps, as well as essential services over the past several years. The Community Flooding in Carmacks and Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation project would create permanent flood mitigation structures in the community by raising a crucial roadway along River Drive, and building structural dikes along the Yukon River.
This project aims to prevent flooding of properties including the recreation complex and municipal services building, the health centre, fire hall and police station, as well as several homes and businesses. It would also see improvements to the communities wastewater treatment system, which has been infiltrated and overburdened in previous flooding events, leading to direct sewage discharge into the Yukon River, backups and boil water advisories.

Description (French)
Depuis plusieurs années, le village de Carmacks et la Première nation de Little Salmon Carmacks subissent de graves inondations qui perturbent le centre-ville, plusieurs maisons, cabanes et camps de pêche, ainsi que des services essentiels. Le projet Community Flooding in Carmacks and Little Salmon Carmacks First Nation permettrait de créer des structures permanentes d'atténuation des inondations dans la communauté en surélevant une chaussée essentielle le long de River Drive et en construisant des digues structurelles le long du fleuve Yukon.
Ce projet vise à prévenir les inondations de propriétés telles que le complexe de loisirs et le bâtiment des services municipaux, le centre de santé, la caserne de pompiers et le poste de police, ainsi que plusieurs habitations et entreprises. Il permettra également d'améliorer le système de traitement des eaux usées de la collectivité, qui a été infiltré et surchargé lors d'inondations antérieures, ce qui a entraîné le déversement direct des eaux usées dans le fleuve Yukon, des refoulements et des avis d'ébullition de l'eau.
