Interim Sub-surface Withdrawal - Peel Watershed Region
On February 4, 2010, the Government of Yukon temporarily suspended the issuance of new oil and gas rights in the Peel Watershed Planning Region. This was done in order to provide certainty during the ongoing regional land use planning process.

This withdrawel expires February 4, 2012, and does not predetermine any outcomes in the planning process. Find out more >>>
