The capital budget for Canada’s national parks and historic sites is being slashed by more than two-thirds this year even as more than 30 per cent of the agency’s assets remain in poor or very poor condition.
“The agency is developing a long-term plan for the management and sustainability of its infrastructure,” he said. In 2020, Parks Canada reported that 274 heritage assets, including 145 buildings, were in poor or very poor shape. Another 1,697 contemporary assets, including 198 bridges, 47 roads, 685 buildings and 149 roads, were in poor or very poor condition.
The fire damaged roads, bridges, picnic and parking areas, affected 80 per cent of the hiking trail network and destroyed campgrounds, stables, staff housing, water and electrical systems.

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.
