Have your say on managing the environment for the future by completing a survey on the regulatory systems and environmental protection measures in the Northwest Territories (NWT).

The NWT Environmental Audit is an independent review of the territory’s environmental regulatory system in the Mackenzie Valley and the quality of environmental data available to make resource management decisions in the NWT.

Information and views are collected from a wide range of sources to help prepare recommendations, both to guide responsible parties and to improve how the environment is managed. The 2025 audit will focus on:

• how land and water are managed;
• how information about the environment is collected;
• how cumulative impacts are monitored; and
• actions taken in response to past audit recommendations.

The audit report and recommendations will be released to the public mid-2025.

The survey is open until March 31, 2024 and can be accessed here or through the Government of the Northwest Territories engagement portal. You can also contact the audit team directly by emailing Carolyn.Hedley@erm.com. General questions about the audit can be sent to the NWT Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program at nwtcimp@gov.nt.ca.
