    The June 8 and 9, 2022 workshop focused on the closure and reclamation process in the Mackenzie Valley. The workshop shared knowledge, ideas, and experiences on existing co-management processes with regard to closure and reclamation and provided information on current closure and reclamation-related initiatives in the Mackenzie Valley.
