Renewed 2022 Banff National Park Management Plan
Banff National Park is Canada’s first and most popular national park. As such, it carries special responsibility for leading and upholding Parks Canada’s reputation for protected area management and innovation in conservation science, while providing exceptional visitor experiences to millions annually.
With Parks Canada’s mandate and ecological integrity as its touchstone, the draft management plan was shaped by the efforts and accomplishments of previous plans, the monitoring results and trends described in the State of the Park Assessment, feedback from Indigenous communities and the public, and changes in the environment, technology and protected area management practices.
The plan sets out a vision for the park as a place characterized by respect – for Indigenous peoples who were the original inhabitants and stewards of the land before the park was established, for experiences based in the unique human and natural history of the place, and for the inherent value of the environment and protected areas. Framed by this vision, the draft management plan describes Parks Canada’s approach to fulfilling its various responsibilities through specific strategies, objectives and targets.
