Opportunity to comment on the Background Information Document
Ontario Parks, part of the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, invites you to
participate in the management planning process for Wabakimi, Kopka River and Whitesand
provincial parks.
We have developed a background information document to support the development of à
management plan for Wabakimi, Kopka River and Whitesand provincial parks. This document
consolidates information about natural and cultural features, recreational activities and park
users. We are sharing this information to support further public and stakeholder involvement
in the planning process and identify management priorities. This information will be the basis
for all upcoming planning stages, including the development of a management plan.
The background information is available for review on the Environmental Registry of Ontario at
ero.ontario.ca under the number 019-4375.
Comments can be sent to the contact identified below. Comments received will be considered
when preparing a management options document for the provincial parks.
Comments must be received by June 3, 2023.
