The national park was established in 1995 under Chapter 10 of the Vuntut Gwitchin First Nation Final Agreement (VGFNFA). Interim Management Guidelines were approved in April, 2000 and provide management direction until a Management Plan is approved. Parks Canada, the North Yukon Renewable Resources Council (NYRRC) and the Vuntut Gwitchin government work cooperatively to manage the park. All three parties are represented on the planning team. The Management Plan will provide long term strategic direction for the management of the park to ensure ecological integrity and continued Vuntut Gwitchin traditional opportunities on the land. The Management Plan is required by legislation, guided by public consultation, developed by a planning team of cooperative managers, approved by the Minister of Canadian Heritage and tabled in Parliament. Once approved, the Management Plan will be reviewed every five years. This is your opportunity to assist in defining and achieving a future vision for Vuntut National Park. Public Participation Public input is a key element of the planning process. During the Arctic National development of the Management Plan, Wildlife newsletters and Public Open Houses Refuge will be the main methods used to share information.

You might take positive steps as David Grassby did recently. David Grassby was 12 years old when he read an article about environmental threats to Oakbank Pond near his home in Thornhill, Ontario. David decided to help protect the pond and its wildlife. David talked to classmates and community members. He discovered that writing letters and informing the media are powerful tools to get action. He wrote many letters to the Town Council, the CBC, and newspapers. He appeared on several TV shows, including The Nature of Things hosted by David Suzuki. In each of his letters and interviews, David explained the problems facing the pond and suggested some solutions. For example, people were feeding the ducks. This attracted too many ducks for the pond to support. David recommended that the town install signs asking people not to feed the ducks. The media were able to convince people to make changes. David Grassby learned that it is important to be patient and to keep trying. He learned that one person can make a difference. Today, Oakbank Pond is a nature preserve, home to many birds such as ducks, Canada geese, blackbirds, and herons. It is a peaceful place that the community enjoys. 312 312-329_Ch12_F2 2/1/07 4:50 PM Page 313 Canada: Our Stories Continue What David Grassby did is an example of active citizenship.
