UPDATE : National Parks Should Not be Privatized

An artist's rendition of the now approved Glacier Discovery Walk

On January 28, I wrote a small piece about the potential privatization of a section of Jasper National Park. Unfortunately the project was approved today which will allow the Brewster Travel company to operate a private, for profit tourist contraption in our national park

Don't worry, Brewster's studies said "it expects the environmental impact of constructing the glacier walk to be minimal." whatever their definition of minimal is.

Thank you Environment Minister Peter Kent for living up to your title and fulfilling your responsibilities.
