Regional Planning Commissions

A Regional Land Use Planning Commission (RLUPC) is a non-government body mandated under Chapter 11 of a Yukon First Nation Final Agreement. The Commission is responsible for developing a land use plan to recommend to the three parties to the agreement: Government of Canada, Government of Yukon, and the affected First Nation(s). Commission members are nominated either by Yukon or by the First Nation(s) in whose Traditional Territory the planning region is located. A Commission usually has 6 members, consisting of the following:

  • 1/3 nominated by Governments
  • 1/3 nominated by First Nation(s)
  • 1/3 nominated by either or both Governments and First Nation(s), depending on the demographic ratio of First Nation to non-First Nation residents of the planning region.

Commission members are appointed by the Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs.
