Yoho National Park Management Plan

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

From January 30 to May 10, 2019, Parks Canada asked for input on what key considerations and opportunities should be addressed in drafting management plans for the mountain national parks. We asked participants to describe their vision of the parks ‘at their future best’. This feedback will inform the development of the draft management plan for Yoho National Park. Draft management plans will be posted for public review and further input once they are complete.

The What We Heard document is a summary of the comments collected during the first round of public consultations in the spring of 2019. These comments are an integral part of management planning. Views and input from various people and organizations, including Indigenous peoples, local communities and visitors play an important role in helping to shape and develop park management plans.

    I would love to see additional hikes developed at the west end of Yoho. Are there any plans to pursue this?

    Suzanne Gaultier asked about 2 years ago

    There are no immediate plans for new hiking trails in the west end of the park. However, we are interested in receiving input like this from Canadians on their interests and perspectives regarding the management of Yoho National Park. This comment has been recorded. It will be considered in the development of the draft park management plan.

    Thanks!
