The Council is currently creating a steering committee to assist the Council as it explores ways to meaningfully weave Indigenous planning concepts and traditional knowledge throughout regional land use planning processes. This work strives to uphold the objectives of Chapter 11 recognizing and promoting the cultural values of Yukon First Nations and utilizing the knowledge and experience of Yukon First nations to achieve effective land use planning.
One of the committee’s first challenges will be to consider how to engage First Nations and others on these topics given the challenges associated with the Covid-19 pandemic and to create innovative ways to advance our thinking on these topics. Stay tuned for further information as the committee begins its work.
