FORT ST. JOHN, B.C- Northeast BC’s first conservancy has been established near Halfway River First Nation.
The Tsaa Nuna Conservancy is located along the south shore of the Halfway River and covers 5,306 hectares. The province says the new conservancy area provides the Halfway River First Nation with an area to further teachings around traditional practices and pass on knowledge to future generations.
Conservancies are Crown lands set aside for the protection of their biological diversity, natural environments and use by First Nations for social, ceremonial and cultural uses.
“We are pleased that the Province has recognized the special and continuing cultural significance of this area to the Halfway River First Nation and confirmed its protection as a conservancy,” says Chief of Halfway River First Nation, Darlene Hunter, in a statement on Friday.
