Examines the structure of the land use planning system proposed by DIAND for Canada's northern territories.
Covers the activities of the commission during its first year and stresses sustainable development and conservation of the region's renewable resources. The commission met with native groups, government and industry officials, and communities over the past year, and incorporated much of their contributions in the report.
The Commission was established in April 1987, with the planning region coincident with the boundary for the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. This interim report defines land use planning, the goals and objectives of the Commission, the activity and findings to date, and the strategy for implementation of the plan, which will involve community planning, establishment of special use or protected area systems, integrated resource use, establishment of effective management bodies, and establishment of a regional information and data base system. Regional issues of importance include protected areas, renewable resources, economic development, non-renewable resources, transportation, environmental effects, scientific research, culture and tradition, military installations and activities, municipal issues, overlap, land claims, and issues of sovereignty.
Describes the history of planning in northern Canada, implementation of the 1981 federal land use policy, and specific problems in the Yukon and the NWT. Includes chapters on land use planning and the Tungavik Federation of Nunavut landclaim, the problems of oil and gas extraction from the Beaufort Sea - Mackenzie Delta region, and land use planning in northern Quebec.
