Click here to view the Copper Ridge Development Area Master PlanThe City of Whitehorse is focused on making sure all residents have access to a safe place to call home. To meet this demand, the City is looking at a number of ways it can increase the amount of housing in ourcommunity.

The City launched a public engagement to plan for potential development on City and Government of Yukon land between Copper Ridge Place and Falcon Drive. This engagement provided an opportunity to give input on what the community wanted to see in such a development, and how the City could best meet those needs. It included discussions with the planning team, surveys, an open house, and the creation of a land use concept.

The Copper Ridge Development Area Master Plan was approved by Council on April 22, 2024. The Plan sets out a vision, guiding principles and associated policies to guide decisions on land use and development in the Plan area, to create a quality residential development that meets the needs of current and future residents while also preserving and enhancing natural areas to protect neighbourhood amenities.

Check the News feed and Questions sections below and side-bar sections of this page for more information.

Stayed tuned for future public engagement opportunities when we enter the implementation phase of this project.

    Survey

    Thank you again to everyone who participated in the virtual webinar and completed the survey. We are excited to release the What We Heard Report which summarizes the input we received from the webinar, survey, and key stakeholders. This report will inform the design workshops occurring during the Planning Charrette stage of this project.

    Design Workshops

    The City will facilitate two design workshops in the week of May 8, 2023. The design workshops are intensive, multi-day meetings with landowners, technical experts, and designers. The workshops allow the project team to engage quickly and effectively, ideate challenges and opportunities, and explore a broad diversity of design ideas.

    The outcome of the design workshops will be two land use concept options that will be brought to the public for comment later in the month of May.

    Stay tuned for more information on this second round of public engagement. We hope you can join us!
