For the first time, Canada’s seven mountain national parks—Banff,
Jasper, Kootenay, Yoho, Glacier, Mount Revelstoke and Waterton Lakes are working
together to review and shape their future as they update their park management
plans.
What’s a management plan?
Management plans are forward-looking documents that provide a vision of
the parks at their future best and the strategies for getting there.
And we need your help. That’s because management plans are more than
a document on national parks. They are a part of every Canadian’s legacy
and Parks Canada’s commitment to protect, manage and plan for the future
of Canada’s special heritage areas.
Why get involved?
Parks Canada is accountable to you. Your values and views are at the core
of every management plan. And that’s why we need to hear from you. Your
input will help provide the direction needed to deliver on Parks Canada’s
mandate of protection, education and the visitor experience.
