Wek'èezhìi Renewable Resources Board

The WRRB is responsible for managing wildlife and wildlife habitat (forests, plants and protected areas) in the area known as Wek'èezhì. The WRRB is an institution of public government and must act in the public interest. Wek'èezhì (see map) is an area larger than the land owned by the Tcho. This land shares boundaries with the Sahtu Settlement Area and Nunavut, and includes the four Tcho communities of Gamètì, Wekweètì, Whatì and Behchok. The membership of the WRRB is shared equally by the Tcho Government (50 per cent of members) and by the Government of Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories (50 per cent of members).
