Ugʷiwa’/Cape Caution-Blunden Bay Conservancy
Ugʷiwa’/Cape Caution-Blunden Bay Conservancy is a small, semi-protected bay that bisects the larger Ugʷiwa’/Cape Caution Conservancy just south of Smith Inlet. The Conservancy is separate from the larger Ugʷiwa’/Cape Caution Conservancy because it is designated in a section of the Park Act that allows for possible access to natural resources found inland from the conservancy.
The conservancy was identified for consideration as a protected area during the Central Coast Land and Resource Management Plan planning process. Following Government-to-Government discussions between the Province and First Nations, the central coast land use decisions confirmed that Blunden Bay would become a conservancy. This bay was legally designated as the Ugʷiwa’/Cape Caution-Blunden Bay Conservancy in Spring 2007.
