The future of our parks
The future of our parks — have your say!
Last fall, the government announced its plans to create ten new national parks and five marine conservation areas over the next five years. If you had one thing to say to the head of Parks Canada as the agency embarks on its ambitious new expansion plans, what would it be?

It is great to establish national parks but they need to be properly funded for the purpose they were stablished. No point setting up parks if you can't staff them, preserve the reason they were designated, maintain infrastructure, or explain to visitors what the park is all about. |

Canada needs more parks. We need more of these special places so we can have a place to clear our mind and body and soul.Canada needs more parks. Future generations need special places to discover. To discover that the world is a magical place, that there is more to life than the mall. |

Please, can you direct us as to how we can get justice for the 56 reindeer that were massacred in an eight acre enclosure on may 21 2005. Four of the reindeer were just hours old.

Like many others I feel that the creation of 10
new national parks and marine conservation areas
is a phenomenal idea, and would greatly benefit
the people by helping us get back to nature, and
by giving us many recreational, and educational
opportunities. These parks would also protect
several endangered species, help stop
deforestation and give animals a place to live
that won't be tampered too much by humans. But
what are the governments reasons for creating
these new national parks? If it is just another
tourist gimmick, to try and gain some financial
benefit from this, without actually keeping the
environment's best interests at heart, then I say
don't build them. For example the construction of
golf courses, hotels, plazas, roads, etc, doesn't
belong within a natural park. Furthermore, if the
government really wants to make a positive impact
on the environment, perhaps they should first
look at the pathetic state of some of the parks
Canada already has. Either they try to improve
them or at least learn what they should, or could
do better in the new national parks. At the rate
that Canada is changing the parks may be the only
wilderness left in Canada so we need to take care
of them. |
