YAB Management also has a partnership with Whapmagoostui Eeyou Economic Development Corporation the economic development corporation of WFN and major involvement within the development of  Nimschu Iskudow Inc. and Kuujjuarapik Whapmagoostui Renewable Energy Corporation in the Hudson Bay Region.  YAB Management is very much involved with many of the Cree Eeyou communities of the James Bay and Abitibi region. Finally, YAB Management is developing several renewable energy studies and projects in the mining sector of Quebec and Nunavut.
