Federal funds totaling $3.1 billion have been earmarked for the Mackenzie Valley Highway, bringing jubilation to the Sahtu region, CBC reports.
The announcement follows years of advocacy by local leaders and Indigenous groups, who say the project will significantly boost economic development in the area.

E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E11, organizations; the pressure it names: highway funding. Its words also reach E10 institutions, E12 states and E9 cultures.
Here it is a dynamic between organizations, institutions and states: Inuvik Regional Council and Indigenous groups (E11 organizations), with Federal funds and $3.1 billion (E10 institutions), and N.W.T. Cabinet and local leaders (E12 states).
