NYPC Scenario Report

An ALCES® landscape computer simulation model was used to explore and better understand potential outcomes of plausible oil and gas, tourism and mining land use scenarios for the North Yukon Planning Region (Table S-1). Land use scenarios, and the detailed parameters for each scenario, were developed by domain experts and through research. A number of different scenarios for each sector were not examined, as the range of plausible scenarios was considered to be relatively low.

Yukon Government - North Yukon Regional Land Use Plan
Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation - North Yukon Regional Land Use Plan

The Yukon and Vuntut Gwitchin governments have approved the North Yukon Planning Commission's North Yukon Land Use Plan. This is the first regional plan approved in the Yukon. The plan provides a 'road map' for future land uses in the North Yukon Planning Region and provides a clear statement on how the land is to be used. "This is a milestone in the history of Yukon and represents another step in the modernization of land management in the territory. The two governments and the Commission should be applauded for their work and wise decisions they made throughout this process" says Doug Phillips, former Chair of the Yukon Land Use Planning Council.
