opportunities for the community, our citizens
and the region.
WORKING FOR THE
CITIZENS
“Our goal is centred around our shareholders,
who are our citizens,” says Lepine. “Everything
we are doing at C/TMC is so that our every citi-
zen who wants to work can find a job. Employ-
ment means not only becoming self-sufficient,
but also money generated to be reinvested
into our community. In short: create a diversi-
ty of jobs and increase the number of business
opportunities in the community.”
Lepine says beyond its businesses, Carcross
has pristine natural beauty, and world-class
hiking and mountain biking trails to attract vis-
itors. “Our mountain biking trails attract riders
from all over the world,” says Lepine, of the
Montana Mountain trails on Carcross/Tagish
First Nation land. Since 2006, the Single-track
to Success project has offered jobs for many
Carcross youth and has worked to bring over
40 km of stellar Mountain Biking trails to the
mountain.
