'Charlie's Place,' traditional Indigenous land in Central Nfld., to be protected from development

CBC Newfoundland Morning

ICYMI from our Thursday show: An area of Central Newfoundland known as Charlie's Place is a step closer to getting the kind of protection some believe it should have. It's between the Northwest and Southwest Gander Rivers and has special significance to Indigenous people in the Glenwood and Gander Bay areas. Qalipu First Nation and the Nature Conservancy of Canada signed a memorandum of understanding to preserve Charlie's Place from industries such as mining and forestry. The CBC's Troy Turner spoke with Qalipu acting chief Jenny Brake and with Piers Evans, program director with the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
