Who are the Friends of Land Use Planning

What is the Friends of Land Use Planning?

We are a collaboration of individuals that support Indigenous-led Land Use Planning in Canada.

Specifically, in Nunavut, we support Inuit-led land use planning, and we want to see the Nunavut Land Use Plan finally come into force.

A NLUP is a requirement of the Nunavut Agreement, signed in 1993.

We believe that a NLUP can help to protect marine and terrestrial wildlife, habitats, and biodiversity while also providing opportunity for sustainable economic development.
