Do I need a permit from the ILA for fishing, hiking or camping on Inuvialuit Private Lands?

When do I need to get a permit from ILA?

Any uses of Inuvialuit Private Lands (IPL) that are more than individual and casual in nature require notification and permitting from ILA.

Any commercial activity, regardless of whether or not the developer is Inuvialuit, needs appropriate permits from ILA to use IPL.
