The GNWT is committed to collaborating with partners to make decisions in a transparent and open manner. The Department will be engaging the public on this initiative during summer 2017. Engagement activities include:

• presentations or meetings upon request with Aboriginal governments and organizations and other key stakeholder groups
• public feedback through online surveys

The Department looks forward to collaborating with Aboriginal governments and organizations, other partners and stakeholders and the public on this initiative to determine the best approach to improve land management in the NWT. Information gathered through the various public engagement activities will contribute to the Department’s understanding of potential implications of these proposed legislative amendments. All comments will be considered as the Department drafts a formal legislative proposal in fall 2017.

Comments can be submitted through our online feedback form, or via email to LandsActsReview@gov.nt.ca until August 15 2017.
