Candidate Area Working Groups are usually set up once an area has been sponsored for protection. Working groups help evaluate the candidate area and make recommendations about the future status and management of the area. For more details on the working group process, click here.

Other protected area proposals

Parks Canada is working with communities on two new national park proposals (Nááts’ihch’oh and Thaidene Nene). These processes are guided by groups similar to PAS candidate area working groups. The Nááts’ihch’oh establishment process is guided by the Sahtu Dene and Métis Comprehensive Claim Agreement. Thaidene Nene is being negotiated in the context of ongoing discussions with the Akaitcho/Treaty 8 and the Northwest Territory Métis Nation.
