  • National Par Ks British Columbia
    NATIONAL FOREWORD The National Parks of Canada are areas of natural beauty and special interest that have been "dedicated to the people PAR KS of Canada for their benefit, education, and enjoyment". Established primarily for the preservation of the unspoiled natural landscape and for the protection of the native wildlife, they are to be "maintained and made use of so as to leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations". BRITISH The discovery of hot mineral springs, bubbling from the slopes of Sulpltur Mountain, by engineers exploring the route for Canada's first transcontinental railway, led to the establish­ ment of Canada's first national park. From this small area of ten square miles at Banff, Alberta, set apart in 1885, the COLUMBIA national parks system has been extended until it embraces 37 separate areas totalling more than 29,000 square miles. Although a few parks have been devoted chiefly to the con­ servation of certain species of big game animals once threatened with extinction, some contain sites memorable in the early history of Canada. Others have been developed so that park visitors may more conveniently view the magnificent scenery and relax in the enjoyment of the inspirational and peaceful environment. From the sea-girt hills on the Atlantic Coast across the rivers and lakes of Central Canada to tlie alpine vistas of the Rockies and Selkirks, these national playgrounds provide ideal areas for nature study and for recreation. It is the responsibility of the National Parks Branch of the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resources to administer these natural areas for the enjoyment of Canada's present and future generations.

  • A Study of the Protocol Agreement Between the Osoyoos Indian Band
    A Study of the Protocol Agreement between the Osoyoos Indian Band and the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen by Levan King Cranston A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING Department of City Planning University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2019 by Levan King Cranston Abstract Protocol Agreements have been used successfully as an intergovernmental relationship- building tool between Indigenous and non-Indigenous governments in Canada during the last twenty years. In British Columbia, the Regional District of the Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) and neighbouring First Nations governments created a Protocol Agreement that was signed in 2013. The Protocol Agreement has brought governments together where previously a relationship did not exist. The methods used in this research included a document analysis, and interviews with participants from the Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) and RDOS. This case study research found that a number of successes have been achieved between the OIB and RDOS, although there are still numerous challenges in the intergovernmental relationship. The research concludes that for regional coexistence of cultures to occur successfully, both parties must have the political will to communicate, collaborate, and engage with their regional partners. All people in the region must sit together for their common good. i Acknowledgments With gratitude I would like to thank the research participants representing the OIB and RDOS who took the time to support my thesis research. Their experience and knowledge has been incredibly helpful in making this a positive learning experience for me.

  • 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Canada Inscribed in: 1984 Criteria: (vii) (viii) The contiguous national parks of Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho, as well as the Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Hamber provincial parks, studded with mountain peaks, glaciers, lakes, waterfalls, canyons and limestone caves, form a striking mountain landscape. The Burgess Shale fossil site, well known for its fossil remains of soft-bodied marine animals, is also found there. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 GOOD WITH SOME CONCERNS The values of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks World Heritage site, inscribed under criteria (vii) and (viii) have so far remained well preserved and the management of individual protected areas comprising this serial site has been relatively effective. However, there are a number of concerns and threats negatively affecting these values. Glaciers are receding dramatically and are predicted to shrink by 95% by 2100. This will have a significant impact on hydrological systems, particularly river flows. An important mammal sub- species, mountain caribou, has been lost from much of the site and is declining towards extirpation. Rapidly increasing tourism numbers and tourism infrastructure are impacting the scenic value of the main valleys, and external pressure from increasing development activities outside of the site is affecting it. Reduced budgets and staffing levels raise questions about the commitment and capacity to address these threats, especially in the provincial parks. Overall, the conservation outlook for the site is considered Good with some concerns, noting that those concerns are persistent from previous Outlook assessments and are growing in some cases.
