What was this engagement about? 

The Government of Yukon and the 11 self-governing First Nations are committed to the long-term responsible management of Yukon’s mineral resources, and to supporting a healthy mining industry that adheres to high environmental and social standards.

To help achieve this, they collectively appointed an independent panel.  The independent panel hosted a nine-month public engagement process.

Input was collected through regional online open houses, focus groups, a toll-free line, over 90+ meetings, two surveys, written submissions, a two-day session with elders, and more.

The panel used the extensive input collected from this process to develop the Yukon Mineral Development Strategy and Recommendations. 

How will my input make a difference? 

The panel’s final recommendations will be submitted to  First Nations and the Government of Yukon for consideration and possible implementation.
