Parks at the provincial and federal levels in Canada are widespread, valued and endangered. Over the last decade a fundamental shift has occurred in societal attitude towards these institutions; more parks were created while government monetary allocations were reduced. This attitude shift saw society expressing a higher importance for parks, while providing less tax money for operations. As a result many parks have insufficient funds for proper facility maintenance, enforcing carrying capacity decisions and halting deprecative activities. Canadian parks are therefore starting to shift more of the costs of operation to park users. The Province of Ontario recently restructured the provincial parks management agency. This new approach sees parks managed by a line agency with internal financial operations. The operation of public parks by the equivalent of a crown corporation is a bold experiment. The implications of such an approach are discussed. Tourism is an essential component of the future. Since park tourism depends upon high quality environments, the finance and administration of parks must be structured so that these high quality environments are preserved. If environmental quality is reduced, tourism will suffer and so will income. Therefore, there is a self-serving link between protective management and financial sufficiency. With a properly constructed park administration, tourism has the potential to protect sensitive environments while providing outdoor recreation opportunities. |
