SAHTU LAND USE PLAN

The Sahtu Land Use Planning Board (SLUPB) was created pursuant to the Sahtu Dene and Metis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement (SDMCLA) and the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act (MVRMA). The SLUPB is mandated to develop and implement a land use plan for the Sahtu Settlement Area (SSA)... develop a land use plan that provides for the conservation, development and use of land, waters and other resources... The Board initially worked with communities, industry and other stakeholders to define their vision, goals and land use issues. Meetings, open houses, workshops and household interviews were held with over 700 people from Sahtu communities, government, industry and non-government organizations.
