| Manitoba Plan Supports World Heritage Site | 08 May 08 |
 The Government of Manitoba released a new climate action plan April 21, 2008.The new plan, Beyond Kyoto: Manitoba's Green Future, includes several references to the future boreal World Heritage Site (WHS) on Manitoba's east side. The commitment to land use planning that includes land protection and plans for the east side is noted (page 36). Another statement underscores ongoing Manitoba Government support for the WHS nomination (page 47). The new climate action plan also repeats Manitoba's involvement in the WHS nomination process moving forward. "In Manitoba, there are many ongoing activities, including working together with the Government of Ontario and First Nations Communities to sustain one of the largest untouched tracts of boreal forest in North America through a UNESCO World Heritage Site nomination."
