Northern Planning Conference

The Council spearheaded the organisation of 2016's Northern Planning Conference.

About:

  • Where & When?: Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre, Whitehorse, Yukon | February 15-18, 2016

Themes:

  • Governance - The Planning Context (WHY are we planning?)
  • Climate Change and Resource Development - Planning for Change and Protection – the future - the conflict (WHAT should we be planning for?)
  • Planning Methods (HOW techniques, tools and theories and WHO is doing the work?)
  • Sharing - The Regions and Plans (WHERE and the status of regional planning in the north)
