About Manitoba-Ontario Interprovincial
The Manitoba-Ontario Interprovincial Wilderness Area was established on July 30, 2008, making it Canada's first interprovincial wilderness area. The wilderness area encompasses over 9,400 square kilometres and includes Woodland Caribou Provincial Park and the Eagle-Snowshoe Conservation Reserve in Ontario, and Atikaki Provincial Park and parts of Nopiming Provincial Park in Manitoba. It is located in the heart of Canada's Precambrian Shield in the boreal forest region. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Manitoba Conservation established this wilderness area recognizing the value and ecological importance of the boreal forest, conserving a significant portion of Canada's boreal forest and a high quality wilderness recreation area.
