Partnering with Wapusk National Park
By working in collaboration with respected organisations that share our values, Parks Canada is able to better deliver its promise to Canadians by continuing to be a world leader in the protection and presentation of Canada’s natural and cultural heritage. We believe in sharing leadership and working with our partners to offer unique, inspiring opportunities for Canadians to discover our treasured places and to achieve extraordinary results.
We are proud to be formally collaborating with the following partners:
Churchill Northern Studies Centre
Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC) is Manitoba’s premier independent, non-profit northern research and education facility. CNSC is mandated to provide logistical support to independent scientific researchers working on a diverse range of topics of interest to northern science, and to serve as an education centre which facilitates a wide range of programming, from general interest courses for the visiting public to university credit courses for students. Together Parks Canada and CNSC are working to provide a greater capacity for research and monitoring and public education relating to the ecological and cultural resources within Wapusk National Park and the surrounding region, for the benefit of Manitobans and Canadians.
ArcticNet
Schools on Tundra
ArcticNet is a Network of Centres of Excellence of Canada that brings together scientists and managers in the human health and social sciences with their partners from Inuit organizations, northern communities, federal and provincial agencies and the private sector to study the impacts of climate change and modernization in the Canadian Arctic. Through its Schools on Tundra program, ArcticNet wishes to foster in Canada’s youth a greater understanding of the changes that the sub-arctic is experiencing due to global climate change, to bridge Arctic research with science education in high schools across Canada, and to educate young Canadians about the challenges and career opportunities in Arctic research.
ArcticNet and Parks Canada are partnering to provide experiential programming to participants in the Schools on Tundra program pertaining to the ecological and cultural resources at Wapusk National Park and Prince of Wales Fort National Historic Site, and the surrounding region. Schools on Tundra is hosted at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre, a Parks Canada partner.
