Stretching across more than 361 square kilometres of rich and diverse habitats, the Gatineau Park is one of the largest and most ecologically important parks in the Ottawa Valley. FR

Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit

The lack of a comprehensive land-use strategy for the surrounding lands and a buffer zone between the Gatineau Park and adjacent development is one of the greatest urbanization and development threats facing the park. This means when development is allowed to take place right next to the park boundary, species avoid the outer edges due to habitat fragmentation and human presence, effectively shrinking the size of the park in terms of its value to species. Urbanization and development threaten to destroy this vital habitat for close to 90 endangered plant and 60 endangered animal species.

The Gatineau Park provides habitats for 27% of all plant and vertebrate animals found in Canada, and more than 40% of those found in Quebec and Ontario. These species depend on protected biodiversity to survive long-term.

Why We Need to Save Hero's Park Sophie Chatel, Member of Parliament for Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi announced the re-introduction of Senate Bill S-229 An Act to Amend the National Capital Act (Gatineau Park) to grant Gatineau Park the protections it derseves to ensure its long-term survival.

UPdated 12.15 3:58pm Overview (h3)

On June 10, Senator Roas Galvez (Bedford) and Sophie Chatel, Member of Parliament for Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi announced the re-introduction of Senate Bill S-229 An Act to Amend the National Capital Act (Gatineau Park) to grant Gatineau Park the protections it derseves to ensure its long-term survival. When passed, the Bill will recognize the boundaries of the park in an act of Parliament for the first time ever and will ensure that the maintenance and restoration of ecological integrity are the overriding management priorities for the park – as is the case for our national parks and most provincial parks in Canada.

 

Getting into it this is how Sophie Chatel, Member of Parliament for Pontiac-Kitigan Zibi announced the re-introduction of Senate Bill S-229 An Act to Amend the National Capital Act (Gatineau Park) to grant Gatineau Park the protections it derseves to ensure its long-term survival. (h3)

Manitoba Changed this on Dec 19

As part of the campaign to protect this crucial ecological corridor, we are conducting a road ecology study along Highway 17 to identify problem areas with high wildlife mortality and propose solutions for safer movement throughout the territory. To collect vital data for the study, CPAWS-OV staff and local volunteers are conducting road surveys each summer from 2025 to 2027 along a 41-km section of Highway 17 and recording their observations of all signs of wildlife, whether they are found alive, injured or having sadly died, on or near the road.

With this information, we can then create a detailed map, identifying patterns and hotspots where mitigation measures could help wildlife travel safely and limit mortality rates.
