Existing Nunavut Regulatory Processes Protect Caribou Herds

23 March 2016

(Iqaluit, Nunavut – March 23, 2016) The NWT & Nunavut Chamber of Mines (the “Chamber”) is committed to provide input to governments and regulatory agencies on policy and legislation relating to mineral exploration and mine development. From March 7-10, the Nunavut Planning Commission held technical meetings in Iqaluit on proposed protection measures for caribou in the Draft Nunavut Land Use Plan. The Chamber attended those meetings to provide the perspective of the exploration and mining industry and to listen to the views of other stakeholders and planning partners.
