Conservation/Protected Areas (2)

New feature class structure to capture areas that limit the ability to dispose of the land (surface or subsurface). There are three related feature classes depending on the type/amount and source of restriction. The definitions below should help determine which feature class to use. The shapes in these feature classes are in the process of being QC'd by the withdrawals working group and will be updated when QC is complete. All attribute information in these feature classes come directly from Commissioner's Order (or other legislation). Commissioner's Orders have registration numbers that start with R-, Other numbers in that field may refer to Order in Councils (OIC) from federal government.Withdrawn lands – registered Commissioner's Order where the land is withdrawn from use either/both surface and subsurface, both permanent and temporary where GNWT is prohibited from disposing of the land.Regulated areas – potential restrictions to development/access due to various legislations (multiple government levels) on lands partially or wholly managed by GNWT (ex. territorial parks, migratory bird sanctuaries, Mackenzie bison sanctuary).Conservation areas – complete restriction to development/access but not through Commissioner's Order, instead with some other form of legislation/agreement (multiple government levels) for the purpose of protection or conservation (ex. land use plan protected areas, marine protected areas) on lands partially or wholly managed by GNWT.
