After several months preparing document and annexes, on February 26 Cabox Aspiring Geopark submitted its official application dossier to the Canadian Geopark Network (CGN).
Submitting the dossier is the first step in a 2-3 year application process that, if successful, leads to the designation of Cabox as a UNESCO Global Geopark, one of three UNESCO designations.
In addition to the 50-page dossier (the limit), the application contained 10 annexes, including a self-evaluation checklist, detailed description of geological heritage and conservation, large scale map showing clearly defined boundary and all geosites, museums and towns, list of endorsements, and one-page general geological description.
