Tsaa Nuna Conservancy<\/h1>\n\n

Engagement Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In March 2017 the Province and Halfway River First Nation signed a Government-to-Government Agreement, which included working together to recommend that a conservancy be established in an area of high cultural significance to the community.
\n 
\nThe proposed Tsaa Nuna conservancy, 65 km northwest of Fort St. John and 35 km northeast of the Butler Ridge Provincial Park, covers 5,975 hectares of land along the southern shore of Halfway River. View the area location map<\/a>.
\n 
\nThe conservancy is intended to protect the high cultural values and wildlife habitats. The land within the proposed conservancy is of historic and continuing significance for the practice of treaty rights by Halfway River First Nation.
\n 
\nThe conservancy designation explicitly recognizes the importance of these areas to First Nations for social, ceremonial and cultural uses. Conservancies provide for a wider range of low impact, compatible economic opportunities than Class A parks, however, commercial logging, mining and hydroelectric power generation, other than local run-of-the-river projects, are prohibited. Visit park designation types<\/a> for more information.
\n 
\nPlease read the Discussion Paper<\/a> and FAQs<\/a> for more information.
\n 
\nMembers of the public were invited to provide written comments on the proposed new Tsaa Nuna conservancy until May 25, 2018, and an open house took place on Wednesday, April 25, in Fort St. John. Some concerns were raised at the open house, and a subsequent meeting was held on September 4, 2018 at the Upper Halfway Community Club to address those concerns.
