The mayor of Faro, Yukon, is urging the territorial government to address the lack of adequate mental health supports being provided to his community.

This comes at the two-year anniversary of a fatal shooting in the small community that left two people dead, and one person injured.

"For a short while help was here, but the reality is there's such a shortage of health care workers, including social workers and mental health workers. We have neither at this point in time."
