Library and Archives Canada Cataloguing in Publication Parks Canada, Banff National Park of Canada Management Plan. Issued also in French under the title: Plan Directeur - Parc national du Canada Banff ISBN: 978-1-100-15751-1 Cat. No.: R61-35/2010E FOREWORD Canada’s national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas offer Canadians from coast-to-coast- to-coast unique opportunities to experience and understand our wonderful country. They are places of learning, recreation and inspiration where Canadians can connect with our past and appreciate the natural, cultural and social forces that shaped Canada. From our smallest national park to our most visited national historic site to our largest national marine conservation area, each of these places offers Canadians and visitors several experiential opportunities to enjoy Canada’s historic and natural heritage. These places of beauty, wonder and learning are valued by Canadians–they are part of our past, our present and our future. Our Government’s goal is to ensure that Canadians form a lasting connection to this heritage and that our protected places are enjoyed in ways that leave them unimpaired for present and future generations. We see a future in which these special places will further Canadians’ appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of Canada, the economic well-being of communities and the vitality of our society. Our Government’s vision is to build a culture of heritage conservation in Canada by offering Canadians exceptional opportunities to experience our natural and cultural heritage. Banff National Park of Canada These values form the foundation of the new management plan for Banff National Park of Canada. I offer my appreciation to the many thoughtful Canadians who helped to develop this plan, particularly to our dedicated team from Parks Canada, and to all those local organizations and individuals who have demonstrated their good will, hard work, spirit of co-operation and extraordinary sense of stewardship. In this same spirit of partnership and responsibility, I am pleased to approve the Banff National Park of Canada Management Plan. Jim Prentice Minister of the Environment RECOMMENDATIONS Recommended by: ______________________________ Alan Latourelle Chief Executive Offi cer Parks Canada ______________________________ Kevin Van Tighem Field Unit Superintendent Banff Field Unit, Parks Canada ______________________________ Pamela Veinotte Field Unit Superintendent Lake Louise, Kootenay, and Yoho Field Unit, Parks Canada Banff National Park of Canada EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This updated management plan for Banff National Park provides strategic direction for the integrated delivery of Parks Canada’s mandate for heritage resource conservation, visitor experience and public appreciation and understanding. It sets out a vision for the future that seeks to protect the unique natural and cultural heritage of the park and provide memorable experiences that allow Canadians to connect in meaningful ways with their mountain heritage. The management plan includes fi ve key strategies that describe the overarching management approach to the park, as well as nine area concepts which provide more detailed direction for specifi c geographic areas. In all, approximately 200 implementation actions are listed. The plan also includes key performance indicators that will allow Parks Canada to measure and report on progress over time. The development of the plan included an extensive public participation program that provided opportunities for Aboriginal people, stakeholders, community residents, park visitors and the general public to share their views and aspirations for this special place. The key strategies and highlights of management actions that will be implemented during the life of this plan are summarized below. It All Starts Here As Canada’s fi rst national park and a fl agship for Parks Canada’s system of protected areas, all programs, services and communications in Banff National Park will include a focus beyond the park, to introduce visitors to the many places managed by Parks Canada across the country. The park will continue to provide leadership in the development and application of protected-area policy and in sustaining a national dialogue about the unique conservation model embodied by Canada’s protected heritage areas. The long history of public involvement will continue by: Executive Summary • Helping stakeholders connect with the park through structured opportunities to participate in decision-making and direction setting processes; • Taking into account the multiple, diverse interests and concerns of stakeholders and the public in decision-making and operations; and • Promoting long-term support for and stewardship of Banff National Park by fostering co-operation and joint action. Connecting – Reconnecting Mountain landscapes are naturally fragmented by rock, rivers and ice. The development of national transportation routes, the Canadian Pacifi c Railway and the Trans-Canada Highway, created additional fragmentation, especially for wildlife and aquatic ecosystems. For much of the 20th Century, Banff National Park was a place of debate between proponents of the tourism economy and proponents of conservation that drew people apart and limited future possibilities. The second century must be about connecting and reconnecting in ways that create new meaning and possibilities for the future. Strengthening connections among people and reducing fragmentation in the landscape will become increasingly important as a strategy for adapting to future pressures by: • Recognizing and working to correct the past disconnections in the natural environment and in human relationships to the landscape; • Managing the park as an inter-related part of a much larger regional ecosystem; • Sponsoring shared endeavours to build community among people of diverse perspectives; • Managing transportation corridors as much to connect ecosystems as to connect people to their travel destinations; and • Working with Aboriginal communities to honour and restore cultural connections to the land and to encourage the gathering and sharing of knowledge about how Aboriginal people understand the land. Banff National Park of Canada A Model of National Park Stewardship Managing protected areas in a changing world is challenging and complex. Strengthening the culture of co-operation, learning and stewardship in the park is a priority. The level of development in Banff National Park is unconventional in a national park context and has come to defi ne the park almost as much as do the unparalleled mountain scenery, healthy ecosystems, mountain culture, opportunities for wilderness adventure and its role in Canada’s history. The anomalies offer opportunities to enlarge on the signifi cance of this place and its national park status by turning the exceptions into the exceptional: making Banff’s conservation successes a part of the national park visitor experience and of the story we tell the world, so that they infl uence thinking and offer hope for the future beyond the park’s borders. The park will share the excitement of science and stewardship by involving as many Canadians as possible in the monitoring and study of mountain ecosystems and by ensuring that regional stakeholders, park visitors, park businesses and broader communities are fully engaged in the creative dialogue and learning opportunities associated with the development of new conservation solutions. Banff National Park will manage for healthy ecosystems by: • Building on the successes of recent years, continuing to protect and, where necessary, restore ecosystems e.g. through prescribed fi re, achieving 50% of the long-term fi re cycle throughout the park, and restoring aquatic connectivity; maintaining high habitat quality through managing and minimizing disturbance in identifi ed wildlife movement corridors; • Prioritizing for restoration and intensive management of those ecosystem components that are most rare (including those legally designated as “at risk”), are of exceptional ecological signifi cance, and/or are most vulnerable, including keystone species; this includes maintaining and improving grizzly bear habitat security and re-introducing extirpated species; and • Incorporating meaningful opportunities for visitor experience and public appreciation and understanding into ecosystem management and restoration programs by designing a citizen science program around core ecological Executive Summary monitoring programs and other ecosystem studies and by sharing the stories of citizen scientists widely. Welcome....to Mountains of Possibilities Increasing both the number of visitors and the quality of their experiences are important priorities in ensuring the continued relevance and effectiveness of Banff and other national parks. Parks Canada will market the park to regional visitors and other Canadians, especially urban, new (recently immigrated) and/ or young Canadians (under 22 years of age). The park will develop and promote new programs and services that facilitate “virtual experience” and “drive through awareness” experiences and will enhance facilities that support “view from the edge” experiences. Visitors will be welcomed to nature, beauty, culture and adventure by ensuring that “welcome”

    CONVERGENCE AND COLLABORATION: INTEGRATING CULTURAL AND NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT By STEPHEN JOHN MALINS B.A., University of Victoria, 1990 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in ENVIRONMENT AND MANAGEMENT We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard ______________________________ Dr. Alice MacGillivray, Thesis Supervisor Fielding Graduate University ______________________________ ______________________________ Thesis Coordinator Michael-Anne Noble, Director School of Environment and Sustainability School of Environment and Sustainability ROYAL ROADS UNIVERSITY March 2011 © Stephen John Malins, 2011 Convergence and Collaboration ii ABSTRACT Protected heritage area management is challenged by conflicting priorities perpetuated by the real and perceived dichotomy between cultural and natural resource management, their practitioners, their disciplines, and their values. Current guidelines promote integrating cultural and natural resource management to ensure holistic management of all values within a protected heritage area. This paper uses the management of the Cave and Basin National Historic Site to illustrate challenges in protecting both historic and natural resources. A qualitative inductive study included analysis of interview and focus group data for the site and similar protected heritage areas. The gap between integrative policies and the tendency for uni-disciplinary approaches to the practice of managing protected heritage areas is investigated. Five barriers to integration, such as lack of awareness, and five methods for progress, including facilitated inclusion, are examined. The author proposes collaborative, sustainable, values-based practices for the successful integration of cultural and natural resource management. Convergence and Collaboration iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am indebted to a number of people who have seen me through this journey from tilting at windmills to slaying of dragons.
