Parks for All
An Action Plan for Canada’s Parks Community
About Parks for All
The parks community includes anyone and everyone who cares about Nature and parks in Canada. It is inclusive, open, and self-defined.
Parks for All means working together to realize shared goals through a variety of perspectives, resulting in distinct practices and individual responsibilities. As humans, our worldview shapes how we see, learn, speak, and hear – how we interact with each other, with other species, and with the land.
The parks community is built on the acceptance of this truth.
Though our perspectives in the community may vary, we are all Nature, and that connects us. We all benefit from healthy parks and natural areas and the quality of life they provide.
