Regulation & Legislation Reviews
One of the principle functions of the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board is to provide public input on legislation or regulations that affect fish and wildlife resources. The Board provides comments to governments based on information based on public consultations and research.
Yukon Wildlife Act Regulation Changes
Each year, changes are made to regulations under the Yukon Wildlife Act in response to public or management concerns. Governments, Renewable Resource Councils, special interest groups and individual citizens can all propose changes to regulations. The Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board presents these proposed changes to the public each fall in order to obtain comments and hear concerns. Once the public consultation is complete, the Board will review all information and provide recommendations to the Minister of Renewable Resources. The Minister will then either accept, vary or set aside the Board’s recommendations. If the proposals are accepted, the new regulations will be put into affect for the following year.
Regulation changes occur according to the following cycle:
