Work is beginning on a management plan for Waterton Lakes National Park/Parks Canada

Parks Canada staff is seeking input on a plan for managing development at Waterton Lakes National Park.

The focus on Waterton Lakes is part of an overall plan that Parks Canada announced in January 2019 for developing management plans at mountainous national parks: Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay, Mount Revelstoke, and Glacier national parks. Now the focus is on the Waterton Lakes National Park 2020 Management Plan.

The agency is inviting people to join the discussion and share their vision of what Waterton Lakes National Park might look like at its future best, and the challenges and opportunities that will be important to consider in the next plan. All Canadians, including youth, are encouraged to get involved and help influence the future of Waterton Lakes. Input can be made at this website.

Insights and ideas from Indigenous people, youth, stakeholders and all Canadians at this stage are crucial in helping shape the focus of the next park management plan. This ensures the plan truly reflects the values and views of Canadians. The results of this engagement will help guide the priorities for Waterton Lakes National Park through the development of a draft management plan. The draft plan will be available for further Indigenous and public review and comment before it is completed in 2020.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
