- Canada has promised to meet its international commitment, to honour the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals by protecting 10% of our coastline by the year 2020;
- There is a growing momentum and an increasing call to action by many nations of the world to find ways to meet the challenges of climate change, to restore our oceans and to work in partnership with First Peoples everywhere; and
- The Prime Minister and Government of Canada have invited applications to be submitted for places exemplifying the outstanding universal values embraced by World Heritage Sites, including the historical, cultural and natural landscapes and seascapes of significance that are the foundation of our country.
