Wildlife Act one step closer

Work continues on the made-in-Nunavut Wildlife Act, expected to come into force January 1.

On June 3, Nunavut Tunngavik Inc., the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board and Government of Nunavut signed a document that outlines the way in which the three groups will determine the regulations in the Act.

The regulations are the detailed rules, such as quotas and seasons, that will come into play when the Act is made law.

NTI, NWMB and the GN will continue to work together to draft the regulations, and will also seek input from regional wildlife organizations.
