BACKGROUND
Parks Canada maintains and restores ecological integrity in National Parks, and provides Canadians with opportunities to discover and enjoy them. Parks Canada protects and presents these treasures because they tell stories of who we are, including the history, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous Peoples.
A new multi-use pathway, located in the traditional territories of the Tla-o-qui-aht and Yuuthlu-ilth-ath /Ucluelet First Nations, is being constructed. It will extend approximately 25 km from the southern to the northern boundary of the Long Beach Unit of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve. The pathway will provide Canadians with opportunities to explore the vast sandy beaches, coastal rainforest, and special areas of natural and cultural significance in the region.
Initial work on the multi-use pathway in Pacific Rim National Park Reserve began in February 2017 and included two main steps: environmental protection and site preparation. More specifically, this phase included extensive environmental, archaeological and engineering studies, the preparation of a Detailed Impact Analysis (otherwise known as an environmental assessment), trail design and planning, and clearing the trail alignment of trees and shrubs.
The next phase of the work will begin in the Spring of 2019. Following Parks Canada's established processes and rigorous standards for ecological protection, work will include completion of clearing trees and shrubs, trail bed preparation, installation of drainage culverts, and fabrication of bridges.
Strict development limits are in place to ensure the protection of ecological integrity in Canada’s national parks. Parks Canada has a rigorous development review and environmental assessment process that ensures all new infrastructure projects comply with these limits and that the parks ecological integrity is maintained. Additionally, any development in national parks is managed through consultation with Indigenous Peoples, information sharing with stakeholders and Canadians, and planning that is informed by science.
The Government is committed to investing in federal infrastructure assets, including national parks and historic sites, for the benefit of all Canadians. These investments bring Canadians together to celebrate our rich natural and cultural heritage. The new pathway is a long-time request from local communities, and will provide opportunities for Canadians to explore and enjoy the natural wonders of Pacific Rim National Park Reserve whether they are walking or cycling.
