Gwich'in Renewable Resources Board

Gwich'in Renewable Resources Board The Gwich’in Renewable Resources Board (GRRB) is the main instrument of fish, forestry and wildlife management within the Gwich’in Settlement Area.

The Gwich'in Renewable Resources Board (GRRB) was established under the guidance of the Gwich’in Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement (GCLCA) to be the main instrument of wildlife, fish and forest management in the Gwich'in Settlement Area (GSA). The GRRB is responsible for working with Gwich’in communities and the public to ensure renewable resources in the Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA) are manage

d in a sustainable manner. Established as a result of the Gwich’in Comprehensive Land Claim Settlement Agreement (GCLCA) in 1992, the Board is entering its 20th year of operation. Building on its previous five-year strategic plan (2008-13), the Board met from September 19th to 21st in Fort McPherson to review the achievements, challenges and lessons learned over the last five years and to establish the Board’s strategic focus for the next strategic plan. The Board members, staff and representatives of each of the four Gwich’in Renewable Resources Councils (RRCs) participated in a structured, facilitated discussion which is the basis for the following document. Co-management partners and other stakeholders were invited but most were unable to attend. A representative from Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) was present for a portion of the session and written input was provided by a local representative of the GNWT’s Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) (Forestry), which is reflected in this document. It is important to note, however, that the views of all key partners were sought in a full-day discussion on Research Priorities earlier the same week in Inuvik and this input was taken into account during the strategic planning discussion and are detailed in separate report to the GRRB.
