It was an excellent day in Yellowknife yesterday hosting the Caribou Recovery Plan Treaty Simulation ahead of the 20th North American Caribou Workshop.

The Treaty Simulation prepared participants for the conference as they learned about the important role that treaties play in caribou co-management.

Participants learned from advisors Dr. John B. Zoe, Larry Innes, Dr. Jan Adamczewski, and Lisa Tssessaze. Thank you to all participants for your input, it was great to share knowledge about caribou research, protection, and treaties.

Today, we're celebrating Inuvialuit culture, history, and community. This day marks 42 years since the signing of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement on June 5, 1984, a historic achievement that continues to support Inuvialuit self-determination, protect cultural traditions, and create opportunities for future generations.

We're grateful to work with communities across the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, strength, and leadership.

Happy Inuvialuit Day from all of us at SmartICE!
