What We Heard

Results of Engagement

The Steering Committee coordinated an engagement process from October 29 to December 6, 2024. The engagement focused on collecting feedback on how people interact with Chasàn Chùa and the values they hold for the area. Feedback was received through a public survey, an open house held at the Kwanlin Dün Cultural Centre on November 6th, 2024, and multiple meetings with stakeholders and interest groups in Whitehorse. The public survey drew responses from 887 members of the public.

The next step for the Steering Committee is to evaluate the feedback received through the engagement and for the five governments to consider the best option for protecting the area into the future. There will be future opportunities to engage on the long-term management of the area once a protected area designation is in place.

How We Will Use Your Input

This input will help inform the Steering Committee’s recommendations to the governments on the following points:  

  1. The “instruments” to be used for protection (i.e., the way that formal protection will be put in place for the area);

  2. The governance structure to manage the protected area; and

  3. The final boundary of the proposed protected area.
