Agay Mene Territorial Park
Park Overview
Agay Mene Territorial Park is identified under Chapter 10 of the Carcross Tagish First Nation Final Agreement.
The objectives of Agay Mene Territiorial Park, as identified in the Final Agreement, include the following:
• To protect for the benefit of all Yukon people the full diversity of fish and wildlife populations and their habitats in the area from activities which would reduce the parks’s capability to support fish and wildlife;
• To recognize and protect the traditional use of the area by Carcross/Tagish and Teslin Tlingit people in the development and management of the park;
• To recognize the past and current use of the area by Carcross/Tagish people, the Teslin Tlingit people and other Yukon residents in the development and management of the park;
• To encourage public awareness of and appreciation for the natural resources of the area;
• To provide quality sport fishing opportunities in the park; and
• To recognize and provide for recreational opportunities in the park for all Yukon people.
Current Status
Agay Mene Territorial Park is classified as a Natural Environment Park. It has not been formally established under the Yukon Parks and Lands Certainty Act.
The Yukon Government will set up a Agay Mene Territorial Park Steering Committee – which will include representatives from the Yukon Government Carcross/Tagish First Nation and the Teslin Tlingit Council – in January 2008 to begin planning for the park. The Steering Committee will consider the objectives of the park as set out in the Carcross/Tagish Final Agreement in developing a management plan for the park.
The Steering Committee will have two years to develop a draft management plan. The plan will be jointly reviewed by the Yukon Government and each of the affected First Nations before final approval by the Yukon Government’s Minister of Environment.
