The City of Yellowknife (the City) is seeking public feedback as we bring forward proposed changes to the Land Administration By-law.

The draft By-law, which is intended to replace Land Administration By-law No. 4596 (adopted by the City in 2010), directs current practices, legislation and policies. It outlines the process of land acquisitions, sales, leases and other land dispositions by the City. Furthermore, definitions and regulations are concise and written in plain language. The intention of this draft By-law is to reflect current land administration work and direction for all land transactions within the City of Yellowknife. A summary of the key updates reflected in the Draft Land Administration By-law has been created so that residents can easily identify the proposed changes and submit their input. 

Residents can email their input on the draft Land Administration By-law to Lands@Yellowknife.ca by February 29, 2024. The community’s insight is crucial to the development of any new by-law, as it ensures the updates made are a reflection of the local people and environment.
