Hmm, Just got this email from Parks Canada
Looks like maybe they are trying to get more signatures to push the National Park through...perhaps they don't have enough signatures yet... if you haven't filled out the survey, now may be the time...
Hello,
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 (https://www.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=532ff2f68f3aa71693528e95b&id=8ec6e77b5a&e=4121bdc1db). A French version of the video is available upon request.
Parks Canada invites Canadians to share their views through the consultation website until March 15, 2019, by visiting https://letstalksouthokanagansimilkameen.ca/Okanagan (https://www.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=532ff2f68f3aa71693528e95b&id=f5f0d33f79&e=4121bdc1db).
Alternatively, hard copies of the consultation survey and information package can be found at local municipalities, regional district offices, and libraries.
We would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to provide their input so far. Consultations with residents of the region are an important part of assessing the establishment of a national park reserve in the South Okanagan–Similkameen.
Thank you for your ongoing engagement.
