As a result of evacuation alerts in the city, Yellowknife-based waste management company Kavanaugh Bros. Ltd. has announced they have pulled out of their Kam Lake office.
Kam Lake is one of three areas that was specifically issued an evacuation alert yesterday and Kavanaugh has announced they will not remain in the office as long as alerts are in effect.
“We have to remain focused on the safety of our workers,” a Kavanaugh Bros representative tells MyTrueNorthNow.
Kavanaugh says they are now working to establish remote offices to continue servicing the city as construction efforts shift to fire prevention operations.
According to Kavanaugh, operators and drivers have been redeployed to assist with work to create the fire break outside the city.
Kavanaugh says as of right now, services remain normal for their customers.
