Using Indigenous Knowledge to Improve Regional Planning in the Yukon
The November 24-25 2021 gathering was a huge success with 50-60 on-line participants.
Proceedings and Themes and Actions from the 2021 Land Relationship Planning Gathering: Using Indigenous Knowledge to Improve Regional Planning in Yukon are now available and can also be found on our Documents page. YLUPC is excited by this promising beginning, and hope to host a related boards and committees gathering soon.
Here is a short video that was prepared for the event about Yukon First Nation’s history and their relationship with land planning.
The Yukon News covered the workshop, and interviewed Council Member Tess McLeod. Read it here.
