Submit Comments On A Proposed Project
A key part of assessments under YESAA is the opportunity for individuals or groups to provide comments on projects under assessment. It is important that the content of comments be structured in a meaningful and usable way.
Designated Office evaluations and Executive Committee screenings have public comment periods. All comments made during an assessment are posted to the YESAB Online Registry and can be viewed by the public. There are a number of methods that can be used to submit comments on a proposed project under assessment and YESAB staff are available to help.

Notifications and Public Notices
All new projects that enter the YESAA process are listed every Friday in the Yukon News on the same page as the weather report. Public notices are posted at local venues in each assessment district. Participants can also be notified directly through the YOR by adding their name or company to a notification list for projects in a particular area, sector or project type. YESAB staff are also available in seven offices throughout Yukon to help participants stay informed about project assessments.
