Parks Canada is also coming off a second year of lost revenues thanks to COVID-19's effect on visitor numbers.
"The agency is developing a long-term plan for the management and sustainability of its infrastructure," he said. Guilbeault said last week the number in fair or good is now up to 69 per cent. That leaves 31 per cent in a poor or very poor state. The 2018 report, done by a New Zealand consultant company, suggested Parks Canada needed to invest $9.5 billion to repair its assets, and also needed between $1.6 billion and $3.3 billion to ready its parks and sites to withstand the increased rainwater, flooding, fires and other damage expected due to climate change.
In 2019, post-tropical storm Dorian destroyed 80 per cent of the trees in Cavendish Campground in Prince Edward Island National Park, and eroded two to four metres of its coastline. The same storm damaged 97 km of background trails in Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site in Nova Scotia.
Attendance bounced back last year, but is still well below pre-pandemic levels at 21.5 million total visitors.

I kind of like the proposal and also little hesitant how they gonna implement and control the situation !!

Toronto to hire private security guards to patrol parks that were former encampment sitesSome Toronto parks could soon see private security guards on patrol around the clock as part of the city's effort to keep encampments from appearing. Novel idea..... instead of pumping money into security guards, how about put it into the mental health, homeless and addiction services. Imagine having the money to spend on private security but not for homeless shelters or affordable housing. How are people in power this dumb? Or they could give the homeless people houses.
