UNESCO bid for forest near Kenora

A vast wilderness area northwest of Kenora is a step closer to becoming a UNESCO World Site.  The application was sent off to Paris yesterday.  Gord Jones is the project manager and says this a significant area.  The Pikangikum First Nation and the Whitefeather Forest Management Corporation are two of the partners involved in the process to have the wilderness area designated a UNESCO World Site.
