Bison Belong is pleased to announce that The Honourable Peter Kent, Canada's Environment Minister and Minister responsible for Parks Canada announced, Friday January 27, 2012, the beginning of public consultation on the reintroduction of Plains Bison to Banff National Park.
The objective of this public participation is to ensure that all potential opportunities and challenges, both in the park and on neighbouring lands, are carefully considered when preparing to bring back the bison to Banff. This is also another opportunity for citizens to become involved in stewardship of Canada's first national park. Read more on the Parks Canada website...
