- How many of the units renovated are empty units that will be renovated to make them available to people on the waiting list?
There are five (5) units currently vacant which are part of the Maintenance and Improvement contract. Housing NWT projects that as many as five (5) units (not specifically those five (5) units) would be allocated to new tenants by the end of the fiscal year.
- How many of the renovation contracts were awarded to businesses located in the Tlicho region?
All contracts were awarded to Tlicho Property Management.
- How many Tlicho residents received training or apprenticeship through the renovation projects in Behchoko?
Tlicho Property Management is a Tlicho owned and operated company with 95% of its employees being Tlicho. For data on training and apprenticeships, the Member is advised to contact Tlicho Property Management as they are the contractor, and they would have that information.
- How many renovations of units will be completed by the end of the current fiscal year?
All 18 units are scheduled for completion at the end of the fiscal year. Initially, the plan was to renovate more units but due to some projects being over budget, some projects have been deferred to the next fiscal year.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
