  • Wapusk News the Voice of Wapusk National Park
    Wapusk National Park parkscanada.gc.ca Volume 3, Number 1, Summer 2010 WAPUSK NEWS The voice of Wapusk National Park www.parkscanada.gc.ca/wapusk Wapusk National Park Use Regulations – Why celebrate? Cam Elliott Superintendent, Wapusk National Park & Manitoba North National Historic Sites Usually people don’t view the implementation of new rules and regulations as a reason to rejoice, but in the case of the Wapusk National Park Use Regulations, which came into effect on March 26, 2010, there is reason to celebrate. The Wapusk regulations are unique in Canada’s national park system. By allowing certain activities customarily prohibited in other national parks, they reflect and respect the unique history and traditional local use of the Wapusk National Park (NP) lands. The commitment to the distinct local use of Wapusk NP was made by the Government of Canada in the Federal- Provincial Agreement to Establish Wapusk National Park, an agreement that grew out of public consultations in the Churchill area. Certain activities are generally prohibited in national parks: hunting, trapping, gathering natural products from the land, using all terrain vehicles to access park lands, and using cabins to support these activities. However, the Wapusk Park Establishment Agreement (1996) recognizes these as traditional user activities for the longtime residents of Churchill at the time the agreement was signed. Aboriginal and treaty rights in the park, Picking berries continuation of traditional use of park lands by First Nation Photo: Parks Canada 1 people, and continuing specified traditional uses of park lands and resources by eligible non-Aboriginal people are Parks Canada Plans outlined in the agreement and are allowed through the park use regulations.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.
