Welcome to Yukon Land Use Planning Council |
|
The Yukon Land Use Planning Council helps Government and Yukon First Nations coordinate their efforts to conduct community based regional land use planning. This planning is necessary to resolve land use and resource conflicts within Yukon's regions. The plans ensure that use of lands and resources is consistent with social, cultural, economic and environmental values. These plans will build upon the traditional knowledge and experience of the residents of each region.

Draft Land Use Designation System |
The purpose of this discussion paper is to provide the rationale for and present a potential
strategic regional land use designation system (RLUDS) for Yukon. A strategic RLUDS is a
fundamental component of any sustainable regional economic development or conservation
strategy, and is a key component of an integrated resource management framework.

North Yukon Regional Plan Breaks Trail |
|
The Yukon Land Use Planning Council
is very excited about the prospects of the North Yukon Planning Commission
producing the first land use plan for the Yukon in 2006-2007. The Council believes that this plan will do much to “break trail” for the plans that follow. All indications are that the Peel Watershed Planning Commission is proceeding with a successful planning process following the North Yukon planning model.

Regional Land Use Plans - What's In Them For You |
|
Land use plans? What are they? What do they look like? What.s in them for me? The
purpose of this workshop was to begin answering these questions. By exploring the
content, products, and scope of land use plans, we begin to plan.
We all know that plans contain maps, recommendations and decisions. What we don.t
know yet is how those maps will be made, who the recommendations will go to, and what
power those decisions will have. |

Cumulative Effects Thresholds Workshop |
|
Centre de la Francophonie, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
The current science and theory behind cumulative effects thresholds were discussed, as were potential data and implementation issues. Brief presentations focused on specific discussion topics. A major goal of this workshop was to provide an informal forum for local resource managers and agencies to discuss and critique the concepts and relevancy of the thresholds concept for Yukon.
During the past four years DIAND Environment Directorate, Yukon has sponsored work on the development and use of cumulative effects thresholds in Yukon to assist in the management of wildlife species including woodland caribou. The much of the work to date has focused on woodland caribou and the use of thresholds as a human development / habitat management tool to assist in the assessment and management of potentially adverse cumulative environmental effects.
