A lottery will be held Sept. 17 for 19 remote access recreational lots in the Carcross area, Energy, Mines and Resources Minister Scott Kent announced Wednesday.

“These remote recreational lots were created as a result of the 2013 memorandum of understanding on economic development between the Yukon government and the Carcross/Tagish First Nation,” Kent said in a statement. “They are now ready for sale by lottery.

“Information about the 13 lots on Bennett Lake and six on Tagish Lake has been available since June, and further information about the lots, including pricing, is now up on our website.”

The Bennett Lake lots range between $45,000 and $55,000.

The lots on Tagish Lake are priced at $50,000 each.

The one-acre uncleared, unserviced lots will be accessible by water.

The deadline for lottery applications is 4:30 p.m. Sept. 15.

The lottery will take place at 1 p.m. Sept. 17 in room 1A of the Elijah Smith Building.

Lottery information packages and application forms are available on the EMR website or from the EMR land management branch in room 320 of the Elijah Smith Building.

“The successful completion of this project is an excellent example of governments working together,” Kent added.

Applicants and the general public are welcome to attend the draw.

All successful applicants will be notified the next day.

Lots left over after the lottery will be put up for sale.
