Cape Breton Highlands National Park Management Plan 2022

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 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.
