Until June 30, Parks Canada is asking the public to read their Draft Management Plan and share their feedback.

Online public info sessions are being held May 31 and June 2 from 7 - 9 p.m. in English. They will be held June 7 and 9 from 7 - 9 p.m. in French.

During these sessions representatives for Parks Canada will discuss elements of the draft management plan and then open the floor to participant comments and questions.

The management plan is a strategic guide for future management of a national historic site. It is required by legislation, guided by Indigenous and public consultation, approved by the Minister responsible for Parks Canada, and tabled in Parliament.

Management plans are based on a long-term vision, with clear direction for a 10-year period, including measurable objectives and targets to achieve results. Parks Canada’s management plan guides management decisions and actions at a heritage place, and serves as a key public accountability document for that place.
