The Sahtu Land Use Planning Board is an organization responsible for land use planning in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada. Established under the Sahtu Dene and Metis Comprehensive Land Claim Agreement, the board aims to balance environmental protection with sustainable development. It involves local communities in decision-making processes to ensure that land use reflects the needs and values of the people living in the region. The board's primary role is to create land use plans that guide development activities, such as mining, forestry, and tourism. By engaging with stakeholders, including Indigenous groups and government agencies, the board seeks to promote responsible land management while respecting the rights and traditions of the Sahtu Dene and Metis peoples.
