EDUCATION, TRAINING AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT

Commitment 2.4.2 – We will finalize, in conjunction with Aboriginal governments, co-management partners and traditional user groups, a culturally appropriate, made in the north, hunter education program for delivery in all communities of the NWT.

Hunter Education has been identified as a critical need by NWT communities. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) has worked collaboratively with a working group composed of representatives from Renewable Resource Boards, Hunters & Trappers Committees, Local Wildlife Committees and other stakeholders (milestone 1). ENR Officers throughout the north will receive Train the Trainer instruction enabling them to deliver the Hunter Education program in their respective communities. ENR officers will collaborate with communities to provide the Hunter Education program throughout the fall of 2017 and winter of 2018 (milestone 2). This will be an ongoing program.
