Download Report: Sahtú Land Use Plan Annual Monitoring Report 2021/22

Dear Planning Partners,

The Sahtú Land Use Planning Board (“SLUPB”) is happy to release its second annual monitoring report on the implementation of the Sahtú Land Use Plan ( “Plan”).  It deals with the way the Plan has been implemented by Regulators by monitoring the authorizations/dispositions they issued between April 1st, 2021, and March 31st, 2022.  In addition to this, a new requirement was implemented this year, which required Regulators to report on how they considered the Plan’s Conformity Requirements.  These are the rules that must be followed by land use activities requiring an authorization/disposition issued by a Regulator.  This is an important step into understanding how the Plan is being implemented, and continue work with Regulators to make sure that it is understood.  The ultimate goal is to evaluate how the Plan’s clarity can be improved to better achieve the guiding principles of the Plan, as set out in the Sahtu Dene and Metis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement (SDMCLCA).

The Plan is a document that outlines what land uses are allowed, where they are allowed, and under what conditions.  Its primary purpose is to protect and promote the well-being of the people and communities in the Sahtú Settlement Area.  The Plan’s goals focus on sustaining ecological and cultural integrity, increasing community capacity and decision-making about land and resource management, and increasing economic self-sufficiency through sustainable development.  The Plan is implemented by a range of governments and organizations that approve land uses in the Sahtú Settlement Area.  These are the Regulators that reported on the land use activities requiring an authorization/disposition, as presented in this report.

We hope that this document provides a useful overview for all Planning Partners as a means to understand how the Plan is being implemented by Regulators.  We will be publishing yearly reports followed by a detailed review and evaluation after several years of monitoring.  Another component the SLUPB will be looking at in the coming years is its Stream 2 monitoring, which will evaluate how the Plan’s vision and goals are being achieved. 

The SLUPB would like to thank all of the Regulators who shared information for this year’s monitoring report, and we look forward to continuing working with Regulators on improving the Plan’s understanding and develop solutions that better enable its implementation.  This collaborative work also helps SLUPB staff understand the challenges faced by Regulators, assisting them in improving their own internal processes.  We recommend readers to visit the SLUPB’s website at www.sahtulanduseplan.org, where you will find a variety of other resources that support the Plan.  Our staff people and Board Members are also happy to answer questions and listen to your input.  By contributing to SLUPB activities, together we all can improve the implementation of the Plan.

Mahsı,
