The Selkirk First Nation in the Yukon is looking to buy the Minto mine, more than a year after the mine's previous owners abandoned the site and went into receivership. On Thursday, a Yukon approved an initial transaction for the sale.

Jared Skookum, 34, is the first person in the Yukon to face a manslaughter charge in relation to an overdose death. He pleaded guilty in June.

The Yukon government says it plans to implement all the recommendations issued at the end of a coroner's inquest into the deaths of four Indigenous women at a shelter before the end of October.
