Norman Wells Renewable Resource Commission
The NWRRC is set up through the Land Claims Agreement to represent the NWLC’s interest in the environment, wildlife and the outdoors. We have a seat on the Sahtú Renewable Resource Board that represents NWRRC Regional Interests in Wildlife and Wildlife habits.
The Sahtú Land and Water Board also has a close connection to the NWRRC. They forward all development permits in the Region to the NWRRC for comments. This process keeps all Sahtú Communities aware of Development Initiatives taking place.
Through funding initiatives such as On the Land Youth Projects, the Spring Fling and various Aboriginal Day events, the NWRRC promotes the benefits of spending time on the land. The NWRRC also provides Local Environmental Monitors information on development projects and exploration initiatives, as well as provides monitors that assist environmental studies and assessments.
Sahtú Renewable Resources Board (SRRB)
The Sahtú Renewable Resources Board is a regional and environmental board and Norman Wells Renewable Resources Council is proud to participate in Environmental Review Processes as part of the SRRB.
The SRRB is a regional co-management board, thereby representing beneficiaries as well as non-beneficiaries and the non-aboriginal population of the Sahtú Settlement Area. The SRRB, with equal representation from communities and territorial/federal government agencies, is dedicated to protecting, conserving, and managing all renewable resources in the Sahtú.
SRRB Mission Statement

It is the responsibility of the SRRB and all other affected parties to unite to protect, conserve, and manage, in a cooperative spirit, all renewable resources within the Sahtú Settlement Area in a sustainable manner to meet or exceed the needs of the public today and in the future for generations to come.
