Alsek RRC (ARRC)
The Alsek Renewable Resource Council (ARRC) is a voice for local community members in managing our renewable resources, such as fish, wildlife and forests.
The ARRC began its work in 1995 after the signing of the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN) Final Agreement. The Final Agreement created the ARRC as the “primary instrument for local renewable resources management.”
The ARRC’s jurisdiction is the Champagne and Aishihik Traditional Territory (CATT) which includes the Yukon communities of Haines Junction, Canyon Creek, Takhini, Mendenhall, Silver City, Kloo Lake, Aishihik and Klukshu.

The ARRC works closely with many local people and organizations including:
Champagne and Aishihik First Nations, Government of Yukon, Kluane National Park & Reserve, Kluane Park Management Board, Village of Haines Junction, St. Elias Community School, Yukon Fish & Wildlife Management Board, other renewable resource councils (Mayo, Dawson District, North Yukon, Carmacks, Selkirk & Teslin), Yukon Salmon Committee, Yukon Trapper’s Association, and the Yukon Fish and Game Association (visit our Links page for contacts).
