Missinaibi Park Management Plan – 2004 APPROVAL STATEMENT I am pleased to approve the Missinaibi Park Management Plan as the official policy for the protection and management of Missinaibi Provincial Park, including the OLL Additions (P1542, P1543, P1544). The plan reflects the Ministry of Natural Resources’ and Ontario Parks’ intent to protect the natural and cultural features of Missinaibi Provincial Park and maintain and develop high quality opportunities for outdoor recreation and heritage appreciation for the residents of Ontario and visitors to the Province. The plan includes an implementation strategy and a summary of the public consultation that occurred as part of the planning process. The plan for Missinaibi Provincial Park will be used to guide the management of the park. It may be reviewed to address changing issues or conditions. Missinaibi River was nominated as a Canadian Heritage River for its unspoiled beauty, significant natural heritage features, and its importance to the history of Canada’s Aboriginal and fur trading route. This management plan will be submitted to the Canadian Heritage River’s Board as the final requirement for designating the Missinaibi River as a Canadian Heritage River. I wish to extend my sincere thanks to all those who participated in this important process.

  • C1533-South Greenhill-SCI Final with Additions
    C1533 South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve Statement of Conservation Interest February 2005 Prepared by: Angela Anderson Approval Statement We are pleased to approve this Statement of Conservation Interest (SCI) for the South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve (C1533). Direction for the establishment, planning and management of conservation reserves is defined under the Public Lands Act and the Crown Land Use Policy Atlas . South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve is located approximately 45 km northeast of the town of Dubreuilville. The conservation reserve (CR) has an area of 1,463 hectares and is situated in the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve. The CR is within the Magpie Forest Management Unit in the Wawa District. The public was invited to comment on the proposed boundary of South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta CR in September 2000. The public will be invited to comment on this draft SCI in early 2005. Comments and concerns registered will be reflected in the final Statement of Conservation Interest. A final inspection opportunity will be provided for the public to review the approved SCI document. This document was prepared by an interdisciplinary planning team having expertise in forest ecology, biology, land management, and fire management. A draft was provided to the MNR Regional Planning Unit for review. This Basic SCI provides guidance for the management of the South Greenhill Lake Sand Delta Conservation Reserve and provides the basis for the ongoing monitoring of activities. More detailed direction is not anticipated at this time. Should significant facility development be considered or complex issues arise requiring additional studies, more defined management direction, or special protection measures, a more detailed Resource Management Plan will be prepared with full public consultation.
