Nunavut gets ready to take control of most public land in April 2027
Nunavut is close to taking control of most of its land. Nunavut is a territory in Canada's far north. Today, the federal government in Ottawa controls most public land there. This land is called Crown land. On April 1, 2027, control of most of this land will move to the Government of Nunavut. This change is called devolution. Premier John Main's office says the work to get ready is now in its final stage. Nunavut must pass six of its own laws that match federal laws. Four of them moved forward this fall. The last two will come this winter.
