In 2003 the GIS unit of the Canadian Wildlife Service, Prairie and Northern Region (PNR) was given the task of creating GIS files to represent the Federal lands for use under the Species at Risk Act (SARA). Geospatial files were obtained from the Directory of Federal Real Property in January 2004. These point and polygon files were structured to show federal property in the PNR as area representations and as point labels. The Migratory Bird Sanctuary properties have since been removed from the DFRP. The Migratory Bird Sanctuaries were developed from the legal descriptions included in the Migratory Birds Convention Act: Migratory Bird Sanctuary Regulations and matched to the cadastral where possible.
