The Far North Land Use Planning Initiative: Knowledge in Action

This presentation will highlight the progress made on the Far North Land Use Planning Initiative, with an emphasis on the knowledge gained through the joint process of planning between First Nations and Ontario. Presenters will share how the process of planning has adapted with this knowledge and highlight lessons learned. Another focus of the presentation will be on how increased knowledge of Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITL) and western science is helping inform decisions about land use in the Far North of Ontario. Finally, the presentation will discuss the future of land use planning, particularly considering the evolving and growing relationship between First Nations and Ontario.
