On September 1 to 3 the Department of Culture and Lands Protection organised the second Environmental Monitor Training Program. Last year we had participants from Whatì and Behchokǫ̀ and this year we organised the training program for Gamètì and Wekweètì.

We had 6 participants and they studied the basics of GPS, topographic mapping, Environmental Monitoring and the Tłı̨chǫ Land Use Plan. We were also out in the field putting the theory to practise.

The DCLP plans to make this an annual event.
