Parks Canada on Cross Country Checkup - CBC

Today on Cross country check up the topic is the debate between commercialization of parks and sustainability of the environment/minimizing human impact....


I have emailed my contributions to cbc. My comments include the following:

• Protecting their ecological integrity is the first priority for Parks Canada in managing our national parks.  This is what makes us a world leader in parks management. It must remain our priority for the next 100 years, so that our parks will be there for future generations.
• People who visit our national parks should be offered experiences that increase their appreciation for nature and the parks’ unique ecological features.
• Commercial development within our national parks should be strictly limited, to minimize human impact on park ecosystems.
