THELON GAME SANCTUARY. 9.5.1 On the second anniversary of the date of ratification of the Agreement, Inuit Owned Lands Parcel BL-44/66C shall cease to constitute a part of the Thelon Game Sanctuary, unless, prior to that anniversary date, the NWMB determines that the continued sanctuary status of that portion is integral to the conservation purpose served by the Sanctuary as a whole. 9.5.2 The Territorial Government shall, within five years of the date of ratification of the Agreement, coordinate the preparation of a management plan to jointly conserve and manage the Thelon Game Sanctuary. This shall entail applying the process set out in Sections 8.4.11 and 8.4.12 for that part of the Sanctuary in the Nunavut Settlement Area, and coordinating that process with a process applicable in that part of the Sanctuary which is outside the Nunavut Settlement Area. The Thelon Game Sanctuary Management Plan shall be based on recommendations of the DIO and affected communities. This plan shall be subject to the approval of the federal and territorial governments. No changes will be made to the status of the Thelon Game Sanctuary or its boundary, until the Sanctuary management plan is approved by the federal and territorial governments. Following approval of the Sanctuary management plan, proposals to change the boundary of the Thelon Game Sanctuary, to disestablish the Sanctuary, or to alter its status shall be subject to joint public review by the NWMB and the agency having jurisdiction over management and protection of wildlife and wildlife habitat in that part of the Sanctuary which is outside the Nunavut Settlement Area.
