Implementation of conservation booths as part of the “Connecting Canadians to Nature” initiative

With the specific goal of “Connecting Canadians to Nature”, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) wants to educate the public and raise awareness with respect to the various efforts made to protect and preserve the Canadian ecological heritage. The contractor that will be awarded this contract should, therefore, make sure that it implements the content[1] that will be provided to it concerning the ECCC network of protected areas in a harmonious manner and a sustainable way. This information will relate to the CFS network of protected areas. The messages should be able to be integrated both in static modules (on kiosks or on panels) and in electronic modules (touch screens) serving as information media for visitors to these protected areas. [1] The type of information that will eventually be integrated in the product requested will be of a nature as to:

Present the NWAs as sites managed primarily for the conservation of the country’s plant and animal life (the three pillars are research, conservation and interpretation); Demonstrate that the NWAs are areas with specific conservation objectives connected primarily with protecting the habitat of migratory birds and species at risk; Arrange for the NWAs to become places that enable Canadians to connect to nature.
