Yukon Heritage Resource Board (YHRB)

About

The Yukon Heritage Resources Board (YHRB) is a land claims implementation board established in 1995 under the terms of Chapter 13 of the Umbrella Final Agreement (UFA). The duties and responsibilities of the Board are outlined in the Yukon First Nation Final Agreements, the Yukon's Historic Resources Act, and Yukon First Nation Heritage Acts.

The Board is mandated to make recommendations to the federal and territorial Ministers responsible for heritage and to Yukon First Nations regarding the preservation, designation, and management of heritage resources and sites in the Yukon. The YHRB may also be asked to make determinations related to the ownership of certain heritage resources, pursuant to 13.3.2.1 and 13.3.6 of the Final Agreements. (Excerpt from the YHRB Website)
