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.
