Overview
Public boards play an important role, from providing advice to government to managing public programs. For the public boards to fulfill their mandate, they must be made up of members who are qualified for the position and are committed to undertake the work of the board.
The role of boards in land, water, and natural resource management in the NWT
Natural resource management in the Northwest Territories is an integrated system composed of land use planning, environmental impact assessment, regulatory approvals, and cumulative impact monitoring. Land, Water and Resource management and advisory boards are an integral part of this system.
Land resource and self-government agreements, the Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act (MVRMA) and the Waters Act (WA) require the participation of federal and territorial governments, and Indigenous governments and organizations on boards.
The GNWT’s role in public boards
The Government of the Northwest Territories is responsible for making nominations or appointments to a variety of public committees, boards and councils (public boards). These public boards have been created through legislation, intergovernmental agreements, or government policy. Appointments are made by Cabinet, the Commissioner in Executive Council or the responsible Minister
