Parks Canada Agency Ya Ha Tinda Ranch Staff Housing and Utility Upgrade

The project consists of staff housing and utility upgrades at Ya Ha Tinda Ranch (YHTR) including: 
1. Construction of a new walk-out bungalow building ("triplex") to include three staff accommodation units, office/meeting space, storage and mechanical rooms, and associated parking and access driveways.
2. Installation of a new septic system, including an "LFH" (Litter, Fermented, Humic) style septic field in the wooded area to the NE of the existing residences. 
3. Installation and connection of underground utility lines connecting the new triplex and existing residences to existing onsite power and gas supply, water supply from recently drilled and licenced groundwater well, and new septic system.
Some tree clearing and considerable trenching will be required to install the new utility lines. The majority of existing lines and the existing septic system will be abandoned in place to reduce ground disturbance. Construction is planned to commence in summer 2025 and will take several years to complete.
