Take Action for Western Brook Pond

The replacement of boardwalk trails with a paved road is blatantly incompatible with the park’s integrity as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These changes, without consultation, are not in keeping with Parks Canada’s commitment to all Canadians to protect the natural and cultural heritage of our special places and demonstrate little regard for public transparency and accountability.

CPAWS is calling for a halt to any further development in the area until a detailed impact assessment and thorough public consultation has been conducted, and the immediate restoration of the bog that was destroyed when this road was built.

Write to the Minister and let her know you are unhappy with Parks Canada making important decisions in our special places without the input of Canadians. Ask her to halt further development in Western Brook Pond in the absence of a detailed impact assessment and thorough public consultation. Ask for the immediate restoration of the bog that was destroyed when this road was built.
