This fibre loop will protect Internet, telephone, cellular and credit card services as well as government and emergency 911 services where available. Northwestel has committed to contributing its own capital to strengthening fibre infrastructure in Yukon, including extending the existing fibre line from Stewart Crossing to Dawson City. “The completion of the fibre loop will bring benefit to all Yukoners and more communities in the N.W.T.,” Northwestel president and CEO Paul Flaherty said. “As a truly northern company, we at Northwestel are proud to be a part of an all-Canadian solution that will protect the everyday services that northern Canadians increasingly rely on. This critical infrastructure link will help all Yukon communities, N.W.T. communities along the Mackenzie River and in fact satellite served communities throughout the North.” The project will see the connection of Yukon’s existing fibre optic lines with the Government of N.W.T.’s Mackenzie Valley fibre optic line to Inuvik. Every Yukon community will benefit from the introduction of increased redundancy under this model, with 10 Yukon communities along the fibre line gaining full redundancy. “Providing reliable, consistent and economic telecommunications services to Yukoners is a priority for the Yukon government,” Hassard added. “This link will provide long-term, diversified infrastructure to deliver increased protection to telecommunications services for Yukoners and local businesses.” The Government of Yukon remains committed to providing the infrastructure required for Yukon’s social and economic prosperity. It is expected the Dempster Highway route will take two years to build, with an anticipated completion in 2017. -301 of 2 2015-10-30, 11:37 AM Professional Development IT PAYS TO KNOW Smoothest Year-end Ever! earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE) hours.

Here are some tips from Canadian dietitians, dentists and doctors: • • • • • • Discuss plans with children ahead of time. Perhaps you want to go to houses of friends and relatives. Or maybe the activities at the local community hall are more fun! Make sure kids are eating a good meal before they go out for the evening. Swap out the pillow cases for a small bag. And think about whether the Switch Witch will visit your family in midNovember to trade remaining candy for a small toy or passes to the pool. Make costumes out of light-coloured material or add reflective tape on the front and back so that your child is more visible to drivers. Avoid masks because they can obscure vision.Tell your children not to eat any candy before they get home. Sort through treats to make sure everything is safe to eat. Set a snack time. To resist constant snacking, limit snacking to a particular time, e.g. after a meal. Reinforce teachings about brushing and flossing teeth. Rinsing with a glass of water after eating a sugary snack will also help wash away some of the sugars and acids. Last but not least, HAVE FUN! Show your family there is more to Halloween than the candy -- enjoy time being active outdoors together and interacting with others in your neighbourhood.
