Dawson meeting packs them in

DAWSON CITY - More than 90 people attended the Yukon government's open house on the Peel watershed land use plan  held at the Downtown Hotel today.

So many in fact that the open house turned into a defacto town hall meeting.

Rather than talking to people individually, government officials were forced to sit and listen to what the people sitting and standing around the room had to say.

The Dawson meeting wraps up the Peel open houses until the New Year. That's when the government plans to visit Old Crow, Fort McPherson, Inuvik, Tsiigehtchic and Aklavik.
