Project Metadata

In 1978, Parks Canada identified Wager Bay as an area to be considered for a new national park.  In keeping with the policy of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (DIAND), a mineral and energy resource assessment (MERA) of the proposed Wager Bay national park was initiated, to include a terrestrial area east of 92 ^o longitude and between 65 ^o and 66 ^o20’ latitude.  Bedrock mapping, surficial mapping and geochemical sampling were carried out.  Data from the geochemical sampling can be found in Geological Survey of Canada Open File 2351.
