Protected Areas Added to National Database
We are thrilled to announce that six of our protected areas are now officially included in the Canadian Protected and Conserved Areas Database. This national database tracks the progress toward Canada's ambitious goal of protecting 30% of our land and water by 2030.
The newly added areas include:
Archibald Homestead
Bowen Island Preserve
Dawson Island Preserve
Gravel Point Preserve
Phelps Preserve
Turtle Rock Preserve
These six preserves add a combined 195 hectares (482 acres) of locally protected land to the national total. We are actively working to have our remaining protected areas added in the near future.
