Welcome to WRRB's New Wildlife Management Biologist

It is with great pleasure that the Wek’èezhìi Renewable Resources Board (WRRB) and Staff announce the recent hiring of Boyan Tracz as the Board’s new Wildlife Management Biologist.  The Biologist provides the Board with scientific research, monitoring and management advice on wildlife, plants, forests, and protected areas in Wek’èezhìı .

Boyan Tracz grew up in Winnipeg, and expressed an interest in biology at an early age. This interest eventually led to a B.Sc. (honours) in Ecology at the University of Manitoba, and he continued learning as a field assistant for a number of academic projects. Boyan built on his early practical experiences through completing a M.Sc. in Ecology at the University of Alberta, and immediately moving to the NWT to work as the Cumulative Effects Biologist in the Sahtu Region for the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR GNWT).

Desiring a more balanced understanding of northern resource management challenges, Boyan returned to the University of Alberta for an MBA, which also provided an opportunity to gain international perspectives through a term in Norway. Boyan returned to the NWT as a Program Manager for the Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program (CIMP) under Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC), and Boyan is currently looking forward to contributing to the Wek’èezhìı Renewable Resources Board (WRRB) as their new Wildlife Management Biologist.

Welcome, Boyan, to the WRRB team!

Farewell to Karin Clark

The Board and Staff would also like to extend their thanks to Karin Clark who worked for the WRRB as its Wildlife Management Biologist for five years –and wish her great success in her new position.
