What was this engagement about? 

We wanted to hear your views on the approaches we’re considering for new minerals legislation. We’ve developed these approaches in collaboration with Yukon First Nations.

We wanted to know what you think about the approaches and how they could support:

  • a strong and viable industry in the future;
  • environmental protection;
  • Indigenous rights; and
  • healthy and sustainable Yukon communities.
How will my input make a difference?

The Government of Yukon and First Nations governments will use your feedback as we continue to work on developing new minerals legislation.
