What was this engagement about? 

The Government of Yukon, in collaboration with the Council of Yukon First Nations, Yukon First Nations governments and transboundary Indigenous groups, is developing new public lands legislation.

Our vision is to create a modernized regime that:

  • upholds Aboriginal and treaty rights;
  • ensures collaboration with Indigenous governments;
  • balances the multitude of interests on public land; and
  • provides a clear and efficient framework for authorizing land use activities while promoting the ecological health and sustainability of the land.
How will my input make a difference?

The feedback we receive will help shape policy on key issues. It will also allow us to build a clear and efficient framework for authorizing land use activities.

Your feedback will help us determine how a wide range of activities we regulate, such as:

  • trail-building;
  • the sale of land, including the land lottery system;
  • permits and leases;
  • land development;
  • compliance, monitoring and enforcement;
  • land planning;
  • agricultural activities such as grazing; and
  • decision making.
