Rouge Park Visioning Opportunity

Rouge Park is about to become a National Park, and your help is needed!

The creation of Rouge National Park means greater opportunity to protect local wildlife and natural habitats but your input is needed to make this happen. With our federal government investing $144 million to create the park, you need to let them know how this money should be spent.

Extending the park beyond the proposed study area of 60 km² to 100 + km², giving priority to ecological integrity and water quality, and respecting the park’s “carrying capacity” are a few concerns which Friends of the Rouge are encouraging citizens to be vocal about.

There will be three public meetings held this summer about Rouge National Park taking place in Scarborough, Markham and Pickering. Feel free to attend one of the dates below to give your thoughts on the park. Alternatively, you can provide your input to Parks Canada by filling out a survey here.
