  • Backgrounder
    February 2013 BACKGROUNDER South Okanagan/Lower Similkameen National Park Reserve Okanagan Nation Feasibility Study In January 2011 the Government of Canada and the Province of BC released a positive assessment of feasibility that failed to include the Syilx Okanagan Nation perspective and interests. In August 2011 Parks Canada allocated funding to commence work on a Syilx Feasibility Study to allow for the inclusion of the Okanagan Nation perspectives. The Syilx Parks Working Group was formed and given the task to complete the Feasibility Study from an indigenous perspective, with Parks Canada participating as an observer. The Syilx Parks Working Group was composed of Okanagan Nation Alliance and the four southern Okanagan Nation member communities: Osoyoos Indian Band, Lower Similkameen Indian Band, Upper Similkameen Indian Band and the Penticton Indian Band. The study found that it is feasible to explore further discussions with Parks Canada about a future National Park Reserve, so long as Syilx Title, Rights and interests are protected and respected. The Syilx Parks Working Group advocates a collaborative and consensus based model with Parks Canada similar to those in Gwaii Haanas. The Report also found that the current Parks model is insufficient in size to promote the broader vision for protection of Syilx cultural and ecological integrity in the South Okanagan Lower Similkameen. Additional work should be initiated to address the broader Syilx vision for protection of land and culture. A Socio-Cultural, Environmental and Economic Impact Assessment has determined that a National Park Reserve has some potential to provide some additional benefits to Syilx people and culture, through increased research funding and employment opportunities.
