North Yukon Permafrost Conference Posters

The North Yukon Permafrost Conference was held in Dawson City, between the 21st and 26th of August, 2022.

The Conference was organized by the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun (FNNND), Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Government (THG), Vuntut Gwitchin Government (VGG), and the Canadian Permafrost Association (CPA). The program comprised of keynote presentations, panel discussions, poster presentations, half-day field excursions, and evening public lectures.

Further details of the conference are available on the site web de l’ACP.
