The MVLWB and MACA clarify land use permitting roles and responsibilities within Yellowknife city limits.

This determination, made in August by the Government of the Northwest Territories (GNWT) and the Board pursuant to section 98 of the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act, clarifies land use permitting authorities within city limits, ensuring that anyone undertaking work which requires a permit for land use knows who is responsible for issuing which permit.  For more information about this determination, visit this handy Frequently Asked Questions document issued by the Board and GNWT Municipal and Community Affairs.
