Government of the Ta'an Kwäch'än Council

Public Hearings Community Lands Bill 2014-1
2015-08-25 18:00 - 21:00 (America/Whitehorse) | Kwanlin Dun Cultural Centre, 1171-1st Avenue, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 0G9, Canada
In order for Ta’an Kwäch’än Council government to pass a Bill which becomes law, the Bill must pass three readings by Council, as well as being reviewed and approved by the Elders Council. This process allows the option for Ta’an Kwäch’än Council government to hold public hearings for its citizens on the proposed Bill.
The proposed Ta’an Kwäch’än Community Lands Bill 2014-1 (Bill) was given first reading by the TKC Council on February 17, 2014. The Bill must go through two more readings and the review and approval of the Elders Council before it becomes law for Ta’an Kwäch’än Council.
The TKC Council appointed a special committee of citizens from the Traditional Families. On July 22, 2014, the Special Committee was mandated to conduct an assessment of the Community Lands Bill 2014-1 and to solicit Ta’an Kwäch’än Council citizens’ views by way of public hearings and additional public consultations as required in order to produce a report of their findings and recommendations for the Council by January 31, 2015.
There have been two Public Hearings to date: November 25 and December 9, 2014. However, the committee was not able to review the entire Bill in the time available.
It is very important for you to participate in this public hearing.

DRAFT Fox Lake Local Area Plan
2015-06-17 18:00 - 20:00 | Unnamed Venue, fox lake, Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada
WE NEED YOUR INPUT!
The Fox Lake Local Area Plan will guide future land use and development in the planning area that is compatible with existing land uses and activities and is aligned with residents’ values. A steering committee as appointed by Yukon Government (YG), the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council (TKC), and the Kwanlin Dün First Nation (KDFN) are undertaking this joint planning process. The Fox Lake Area Plan will apply to privately owned, public, and TKC Settlement land within the planning area. YG will then develop and pass Area Development Regulations (Zoning) to implement this Local Area Plan on the land that it manages.
The planning area is within TKC and KDFN traditional territory and overlaps with the traditional territory of the Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation (LSCFN), and Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN). The Fox Lake Area planning process will be carried out according to Section 26.1 of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Self-Government Agreement and Section 30 of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation Self-Government Agreement.

Please send comments and/or questions regarding the draft plan to:
Amanda Taylor, Land Use Planning Coordinator
