Management planning
Skmaqn–Port-la-Joye–Fort Amherst National Historic Site
What is a management plan?
A management plan is a strategic guide required by legislation and approved by the Minister. It is the primary accountability document for national parks and historic sites administered by Parks Canada and looks forward 10 to 15 years.
A management plan
- is strategic in nature, based on a long-term vision,
- ensures transparency,
- guides management decisions and actions at a Parks Canada administered place,
- serves as a key public accountability document for that place, and
- is developed through extensive consultation and input from various people and organizations, including Indigenous Peoples, community members, visitors and the public.
Consultation and public engagement
Parks Canada completed a formal consultation process with the Mi’kmaq of Prince Edward Island and sought public input to create the new Management Plan for Skmaqn—Port-la-Joye—Fort Amherst National Historic Site.
Consulting with Canadians was the platform used for a nation-wide consultation process, inviting partners, stakeholders, and the public to provide input on the draft management plan. Click here for a report on what we heard.
