The Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board (MVLWB) will be hosting its second virtual workshop of 2022 in an effort to help residents become more familiar with the co-management system. 

Please see the scheduled events here. 

On June 8 and 9, we are inviting members of the public to attend a series of talks from Traditional Knowledge Holders and other experts about the closure and reclamation process. 

Please join us by filling out the registration field here. 

The registration deadline for the workshop is at the end of the day on June 6. 

Events on both days will take place from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. MDT and a Zoom link will be provided in advance.

Topics over the two days will include the role of Traditional Knowledge in closure planning and an overview of the closure planning framework within the Mackenzie Valley. 

There will also be discussion from industry professionals about their experience overcoming the main challenges of progressive reclamation. 

Representatives from the GNWT will talk about how security is managed and Board staff will discuss some of the upcoming initiatives to advance closure and reclamation planning.
