And your first job would be to hire Till to sand and re-varnish every piece of
wood in the Prince of Wales Hotel. (For those not from the area, that's the kind
of job like painting big bridges, where you as soon as you're finished, it's time
to start over again).

Re: [ZION] New national parks

[Marc A. Schindler]

You'd be surprised. There's a national park called Auyuituk (I think I've got the
spelling right -- it's pronounced eye-oo-WE-took) on Baffin Island, which covers
a very long fjiord and has magnificent glaciers and spectacular mountains. It's
large enough to have a permanent ice cap, like Greenland and Ellesmere Island,
too. The only inhabited place used to be a little village which has now, because
of the park, at least got some permanence to it, called Pangnirtung. It has an
airport, and tourists actually fly in and hire local guides and go camping,
hiking, the whole bit.

And speaking more literally of tropical wonderlands, the remains of an entire
petrified tropical forest have been found on Ellesmere Island, and this will be a
heritage site soon. Can you imagine? Ellesmere Island is the northernmost land
mass in the western hemisphere -- at its very tip is Canadian Forces Station
Alert, the northernmost settlement in the western hemisphere, and yet there was
once a tropical forest there.

I can just see the millions of people that will flock to this tropical

My favorite will always be Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park. In
it, I feel our two nations approach each other as greater friends than in
many other ways. The awesome views of Glacier become even greater views
in Waterton.

Re: [ZION] New National Parks

[Marc A. Schindler]

No, they didn't, other than a vague reference to "improving" the existing parks
as well as creating the new ones. I got the impression that the size increase
would come from the new parks; I didn't know they were going to increase any of
the existing ones. Waterton's limited at its SE corner by an exclave of the Blood
Reserve, isn't it? I assume they mean to go north by northwest, along the
continental divide, but I'm only guessing.

In fact, I'd like to see them amalgamate four parks into one. Right now I think
Wood Buffalo is the largest national park in North America, but I bet if they
combined Banff, Jasper, Kootenay and Yoho (which are all contiguous anyway) and
called the new one just "Rocky Mountain National Park" that that would be at
least as big as Wood Buffalo, don't you think?

And then, if they added the Kananaskis country, which is a provincial
recreational area or some such designation, that would link up Rocky Mountain
with Waterton into one huge super park. That in turn could form part of the Y2Y
corridor that some people are talking about: a Yukon-to-Yellowstone corridor for
wildlife. They'd have to increase Yellowstone northwest, Glacier southeast, and
add some kind of park in between to span the eastern slope of Montana's western
border.  Then they could fold in some of BC's provincial parks in the north, and
one of the 3 new parks yet to be officially announced which is going to be in the
southern Yukon, and that would link to Kluane, and you'd have your corridor: all
the way from the Alaskan border into NW Wyoming.

RE: [ZION] New National Parks

[Tom Matkin]

They also announced, or it was said that the government would announce,
that Waterton National Park (the northern contiguous sister park to
Glacier National Park) will be increased in size.  I was wondering if I
would wake up this morning and find that I now lived in a National Park.
Did they announce the particulars of the intended increase?

[ZION] New National Parks

[Marc A. Schindler]

10 new national parks have been announced, increasing the area of our
national parks by 50%:
<>

There's no map online, so here's a summary list of the parks and where
they are:

1.Northern Bathurst Island: in the Arctic Archipelago, near the
north magnetic pole
2. East arm of Great Slave Lake (tundra meets the northern edge of
the boreal forest; caribou and other wildlife)
3.Gwali Haunas Marine (Queen Charlotte Islands; Gwaii is the Haida
word for "Haida")
4. & 5.Gulf Islands and Gulf Islands Marine  (Canadian side of the
Gulf Islands north of Puget Sound)
6.Manitoba Lowlands ("Interlaken" muskeg area where the Canadian
shield meets the eastern edge of the boreal forest)
7. Mealy Mountains (mountains lining the big inlet where Happy
Valley-Goose Bay NATO base is, in Labrador)
8. Torngat Mountains  (northern tip of Labrador and east side of
Quebec's Ungava Bay)
9. Ukkusiksalik (Wager Bay); reversing waterfall on Chesterfield
Inlet, polar bear habitat
10.North Shore of Lake Superior (marine park)

There are already 39 national parks; this will make 49; and Chrétien has
said he will announce 3 more in the coming months.
