Public Registry

YESAB and the Designated Offices maintain a Public Registry containing:

• All documents related to assessments
• A list of projects, activities and plans
• Project location and stage of assessment
• Lists of any authorizations, grants of interest in land & financial assistance

 

These records are stored in such a way as to facilitate public access to them. The system is primarily electronic, encompassing all aspects of document management. However, for those members of the public less comfortable or unable to access electronic records, YESAB staff are available to retrieve and print electronic information upon request. Public computers with access to the Online Registry are available at each Designated Office.

The YESAB Public Registry is comprised of two components:

• YESAB Online Registry (YOR) - This is an entirely electronic registry and document management system that is accessible through the "YESAB Online Registry" button on the left or the link above.
• Document Registry - This is a paper-based registry of files maintained by YESAB staff. Files are located at Head Office, Suite 200 - 309 Strickland Street, Whitehorse; telephone (867) 668-6420 and fax (867) 668-6425.
• Files relevant to each assessment district are located in the Designated Office for that district.

The registry system is deployed across the Yukon in six Designated Offices, the Board's Head Office in Whitehorse and over the Internet. Each Designated Office has a public computer to help provide access to the YESAB Online Registry for those members of the public who do not have a computer or a connection to the Internet.

The registry is secure and is intended to be the main tool used by proponents, regulators and members of the public to participate in the assessment process.
