The clock is ticking on the new NWT Protected Areas Act

In a letter sent to the GNWT Minister of Environment and Natural Resources Robert C. McLeod, CPAWS-NWT addressed concern that timelines for tabling the draft Protected Areas Act Legislation (PAL) have fallen behind to the extent that it will be delayed until after the 2019 territorial election. The PAL is a commitment of the current government mandate which if not fulfilled will further frustrate the establishment of candidate protected areas.
