Larry Bagnell, a parliamentary member for the Canadian territory of Yukon announced alongside Canada’s minister of Natural Resources a multi-year investment of €1.25 million ($1.43 million) for a forestry initiative in Yukon.

According to a Natural Resources Canada release, the initiative will result in ‘greener’ heating solutions, job creation as well as boosting the local economy.
