Chairperson: Kathleen Martin
Editor: Holly Cleator

Summary

A regional science peer-review meeting was held on November 4-6, 2008, in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The objective of the meeting was to peer review existing information relevant to the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) status assessment for Dolly Varden, Salvelinus malma malma, (western Arctic populations) in Canadian waters. Meeting participants included experts from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Yukon Government, Gwich’in Renewable Resource Board, Fisheries Joint Management Committee, universities of Alberta and Manitoba, COSEWIC Aboriginal Traditional Knowledge (ATK) Subcommittee and independent consulting firms and COSEWIC status report authors. This Proceedings report summarizes the relevant discussions from the meeting and presents revisions to be made to the working papers. Following the meeting, three additional working papers were drafted and then reviewed by an independent expert. A summary of the expert’s review is also presented.  These proceedings and some of the working papers reviewed during or following the meeting have been published as Research Documents and are available on the Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) website.
