Another Attempt to Gain UNESCO Designation

Another attempt is going to be made to have a vast area spanning the
border of Ontario and Manitoba declared a UNESCO World Hertiage site.

Pimachiowin Aki is an area of boreal forest that Ontario and Manitoba want
to have recognized by the United Nations.

Last year the World Heritage Committee deferred its decision and now the
Manitoba government says its re-working its application.

The deadline is February 1st, but if they can't make that they will have to
wait until 2016.
