NWT ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT 2005

The Mackenzie Valley Resource Management Act states that an audit of the environment must take place in the Mackenzie Valley at least once every five years. Similar requirements for environmental audits are described in the Sahtu, Gwich’in and Tlicho agreements.

Conducted by an independent auditor, the first-ever NWT Environmental Audit was completed in December, 2005. Unique in Canada, this audit reviews the effectiveness of programs and processes related to monitoring cumulative impacts and the effectiveness of the regulation of land and water use in the Mackenzie Valley and the Inuvialuit Settlement Region.

The audit summary and conclusions, the main report, and the supplementary report on the status of the environment are posted below.
