This report represents over two-years of information compilation and analysis. The report and information collection was completed to support the production of the Draft North Yukon Regional Land Use Plan. This report and the accompanying 54 resource maps will provide a valuable source book for resource managers, regulatory agencies, industry and researchers. Key information from this document has been summarized in relevant sections of the Draft North Yukon Regional Land Use Plan. Much of this information was also utilized to populate the North Yukon ALCES® model, which allowed different future land use scenarios to be examined and evaluated for the North Yukon Planning Region. The resource maps contained in Appendix One were originally produced in July 2006 and posted to our website at that time; some maps were recently updated to reflect current land dispositions and status. Revisions are noted in Appendix One. The major conclusions and interpretations of this resource assessment were presented at public open houses in Old Crow and Whitehorse in April 2006. The NYPC worked closely with several plan partners and the community of Old Crow to collect, create, analyze and interpret North Yukon resource information. A list of acknowledgements is included in this report. While every effort has been made to validate the accuracy of information and interpretations with contributing partners and domain experts, the NYPC ultimately accepts final responsibility for the accuracy of information in this report, and its interpretation and conclusions. Next Steps This report is currently presented in ‘draft’ form and the NYPC encourages stakeholders and agencies to comment on this document. However, at this time, NYPC is not seeking formal review comments. This document explains the major information sources and assumptions used in the development of the Draft North Yukon Regional Land Use Plan and Land Use Scenarios. Based on comments received during the Draft Plan consultation, NYPC will revisit the information in this report if major assumptions appear to be questioned or invalidated. Editorial and organizational items will also be addressed at a future date. 307 Jarvis Street, Suite 201, Whitehorse, Yukon Y1A 2H3 tel: (867) 668-7663 toll free: 1-866-414-3468 fax: (867) 667-4624 www.nypc.planyukon.ca email: [email protected] ii Resource assessments are dynamic; they change in response to new information and understanding that results from research or new discoveries. Land status and land use patterns change over time. Natural disturbances such as wildfire can radically alter landscapes and habitat conditions in a single season. Climate change may alter existing land use conditions and assumptions. To account for the dynamic nature of land and resource information, the land use, ecological, heritage/cultural and economic resource information displayed in Appendix One, Maps 1-53 is being incorporated into an internet-based mapping (GIS) system, the Yukon Planning Atlas. The Atlas provides users with the ability to query and explore relationships between map layers presented in this report, and additional user-defined information. The Yukon Planning Atlas is an initiative of the Yukon Land Use Planning Council and can be accessed at http://atlas.planyukon.ca. Key data layers will be posted throughout 2008. Where to Get More Information The entire North Yukon Resource Assessment Report and Maps are available for download in .pdf format from the NYPC website at www.nypc.planyukon.ca.

The plan is being prepared under the mandate of Chapter 11, Land Use Planning, of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Final Agreement (VGFNFA). The report provides a description of the social/cultural, heritage, economic, and ecological resources and interests in the planning region. Sources of scientific and local/traditional knowledge were collected and considered equally in this assessment. Significant management issues are highlighted. Fifty-four resource maps accompany this report; they are included in Appendix One. The NYPC worked with several plan partners and Old Crow Elders and land users to collect, create, analyze and interpret resource information. The NYPC accepts final responsibility for the information contained in this report, and its interpretation and conclusions. Objectives This report has the following objectives: • describe the natural, human and economic resources of the region; • describe historical, current and potential future land uses and patterns; and • discuss potential issues relevant to current and future land use for consideration in the production of the regional land use plan. Report Organization The report is organized into five major sections: background and stakeholder interests (Section 1), a description of the regional setting and ecology (Section 2), human history, heritage resources and First Nations land use (Section 3), a regional assessment of economic activities, existing land use impacts and conservation priorities, and how they may affect Sustainable Development considerations (Section 4), and conclusions and major planning issues (Section 5). North Yukon Planning Region Resource Assessment Report – DRAFT October, 2007 Executive Summary iv Key Findings 1. Land Use Levels of land use and economic activity in the region are currently low, but interest in the oil and gas and mineral sectors is increasing. While changed from decades ago,Vuntut Gwitchin participation rates in traditional economic activities and subsistence harvesting remains high. Given the current situation, the level of human-caused change in the region is expected be relatively low over the next 5-10 years. Increasing levels of oil and gas and mineral exploration activity may continue, but major infrastructure development and production are not anticipated in the coming decade. Levels of wilderness and cultural tourism may increase, but growth is expected to be modest. Large-scale hydroelectric developments are unlikely. The existing road transportation network will not grow significantly without large increases in the level of industrial land use activity. The highest level of land use activity will continue to be focused along the Dempster Highway corridor, and adjacent areas. The area around Old Crow will continue to be the focus for VGFN traditional economic and cultural activities, with most activities occurring along the Porcupine River, Bluefish Wetlands and Old Crow Flats. At present, the region does not appear to have experienced or be experiencing critical levels of cumulative habitat-related impacts. The current levels and types of human- caused surface disturbances, while visible, are not compromising the ecological integrity of the region. The highest levels of habitat impacts are along the Dempster Highway and in the Eagle Plain oil and gas basin. Of the land uses and economic sectors examined, potential future natural gas exploration and production-related activities have the greatest potential to cause landscape-level change in the coming decades. This activity would require associated land uses, most notably all-season road construction, aggregate (gravel) extraction and potential surface

  • Waterfront Toronto Launches
    WATERFRONT TORONTO UNVEILS DESIGN SUBMISSIONS FOR JARVIS SLIP Foot of Jarvis Street to become key component in network of world renowned waterfront public spaces Toronto, January 18, 2008 – Waterfront Toronto has selected three distinguished teams to participate in a design competition to enhance the public space at the Jarvis Slip. The teams selected to participate in the design competition are: • Janet Rosenberg & Associates • Claude Cormier architectes paysagistes inc. • West 8 + DTAH Waterfront Toronto will hold a public exhibition of completed design proposals from January 21-25, 2008 at Metro Hall (55 John Street), and a review by a four member jury of prominent arts and design professionals leading to a February 01, 2008 announcement of the winner. “This is yet another opportunity for Waterfront Toronto to distinguish the public realm on the waterfront and in so doing, continue to build a great waterfront for Toronto” said John Campbell, Waterfront Toronto’s President and CEO. The intersection of Lower Jarvis Street and Queens Quay is a key gateway to the future East Bayfront community. Waterfront Toronto is sponsoring this Invited Design Competition to produce an innovative design and bring a fresh, new perspective to the one-acre site at the foot of Lower Jarvis Street. Designs are expected to readily accommodate large scale gatherings and performances without compromising its day- to-day informal usage. This space is seen as a complementary component of the public realm in the East Bayfront precinct, which will also include a revitalized Queens Quay, Sherbourne Park, Aitken Place Park, as well as the water’s edge promenade and public streets.
