VEFF Expansion and Award Clarification

Tuesday 21 June 2016
Posted by Andrew Banks in Divisions

 The World Wide Flora and Fauna program in Canada (VEFF) is pleased to make the following
announcements relating to:
- The addition of the Ontario Provincial Parks
- The adoption of Sable Island (CYFF-0001) and St Paul Island (CYFF-0002)
- The treatment of the Canadian Provinces for the DXCC-A Award

Ontario Provincial Parks:
 The VEFF Program is pleased to announce a major expansion, with the inclusion of 315
provincial parks within the province of Ontario (VE3). These are numbered VEFF-0130 to
VEFF-0444 inclusive.

Sable Island and St Paul Island:
 The two regions have previously been allocated references CYFF-0001 and CYFF-0002
respectively.
 They have now been adopted by the VEFF program, and reassigned as follows:
   VEFF-0120 = Sable Island
   VEFF-0122 = St. Paul Island
 Neither reference has been submitted to Logsearch, but should a retrospective log be
submitted, the new reference will be used.
 The "missing" reference VEFF-0121 has been assigned to N\E1\E1ts'ihch'oh National Park
Reserve.

Canadian Provinces:
 After discussions within the WWFF team, it has been agreed to treat the Canadian
Provinces in a similar manner to the Australian States, for the purposes of WWFF:
- For the DXCC Activator award (DXCC-A) each province shall be treated as a
separate counter.
- For the DXCC Hunter award (DXCC-H) Canada as a whole shall be treated as a
single counter; the two separate territories (CY0 and CY9) are separate DXCCs
so are separate counters.

Addition of New References:
 After discussions within the WWFF team, it has been agreed to add an additional
500 new references per calendar year to the VEFF list.
