Parks Canada has outlined a series of targets designed to mitigate climate change and traffic congestion in a handful of the country’s premier mountain destinations, including Banff National Park.
But accommodating – and encouraging – a growing number of visitors to national parks comes at an ecological price. The management plans seek to balance the popularity of the parks with protections for wildlife and their natural habitat and some of the goals, such as rolling back existing trails and limiting parking, could create tension between Parks Canada and the millions of people who access the destinations each year.
“Once implemented, the people-moving system in Banff would be an example of how big-picture thinking, comprehensive planning and ‘green’ transport can help secure an environmentally and economically sustainable future for the park, and solidify Parks Canada’s reputation as a leader in environmental protection and a provider of heritage experiences,” the management plan said.
The management plans for Banff, Yoho National Park and Kootenay National Park call for officials to identify each area’s respective carbon sequestration capacity by 2023. A number of the plans also demand Parks Canada’s light-duty vehicle fleet purchases shift to zero-emission or hybrid vehicles.
Meanwhile Trudeau & his cabal import over 1.5 million people a year between immigration, 4Nstudents, TFWs, and the parents and grandparents of immigrants, as well as over 9 million super visa holders. As if the healthcare system isn't collapsing and housing isn't stratospheric.
