Environment Canada requires the services of a contractor(s) to work with five ACMCs to identify, obtain, review, summarize and organize information and information gaps relevant to management planning by the ACMC’s for each of eight (8) Conservation Areas.

2. Help the ACMC review and make decisions about management planning information needs and priorities, based on the descriptive bibliography, identified gaps and populated ECPAMPT that are prepared for the ACMC as the first set of deliverables for this project
3. Familiarize the ACMC with protected areas visioning, goal setting, and discuss community engagement processes so they can apply them to the development of the NWA and/or MBS Management Plan
