Parks Canada is extending by two weeks the public consultation on the proposed national park reserve in the South Okanagan-Similkameen.

This will allow stakeholder groups who had their meetings rescheduled to late February an opportunity to submit their views on the proposed boundary and provide their input on key aspects for consideration in the management of the lands. It will also provide you with more time to participate.

We will conclude meetings with stakeholders on February 28, 2019, as originally planned. However, those who have not had an opportunity to attend a presentation by Parks Canada are encouraged to view the Agency’s presentation by visiting: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ekuGzj2Z-_wcAqAUPjVb1adeWNmmOunQ.

Parks Canada invites Canadians to share their views through the consultation website until March 15, 2019, by visiting https://letstalksouthokanagansimilkameen.ca/Okanagan.

Alternatively, hard copies of the consultation survey and information package can be found at local municipalities, regional district offices, and libraries.
