About the board
The BQCMB was created to help manage two caribou herds whose migratory
routes straddle two territories, two provinces, and four different native
cultures. The board consists of 14 members, including a chairman and vice
chairman. Appropriately, since the main purpose of the board is to
safeguard the caribou herds in the interest of aboriginal people who have
traditionally relied upon caribou, the majority of board members
represent aboriginal communities.
