Summary
Bill C-248 is a proposed law to change the Canada National Parks Act. The change would add Ojibway National Urban Park of Canada to the list of national parks in the Act. This park would be located in Ontario.
The bill describes the specific areas of land that would make up the new national park. It uses latitude and longitude coordinates to define the boundaries of seven different parcels of land. These parcels are identified as (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g). Each parcel is described with a series of coordinates and straight lines connecting them, along with its approximate size in hectares.
The coordinates are based on the 1983 North American Datum (NAD83). The bill specifies that any references to straight lines between points mean the points are joined directly on the NAD83 Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection plane surface.
