Working Groups

In 2008, the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (including the regional panels) established the Standard Procedures and Consistency Working Groups to develop consistent policy, procedures and guidelines that take into account regional concerns. The Working Groups are comprised of staff from the Gwich’in, Wek’eezhii, Sahtu, and Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Boards, and operate under Terms of Reference. To read about the purpose, scope, and product expectations of each Working Group, see the Terms of Reference.
