Waskesiu Community Council

Waskesiu Community Council is a democratically elected group of community members who act as the community’s voice, and communicates with the Parks Canada Agency on behalf of Waskesiu residents, lessees and licensees. Working with the entire community the council has developed a mid-to-long term community vision and action plan. The Waskesiu 2020 and beyond action plan advises Parks Canada on the types of services desired by the community and provides guidance on townsite management to the year 2020 and beyond. The Waskesiu 2020 and beyond plan is an instrumental part of the official Parks Canada Waskesiu Community Plan.

The Waskesiu Community Council and Parks Canada meet regularly and work together to maintain Waskesiu as a national park community for visitors and residents.
