visitors place increasing pressure on the parks’ growing infrastructure of roads, trails, and other facilities.

The wardens are also responsible for the education and safety of the public during visits to the National Parks. Among other things, this involves providing information at Visitor Information Centres and on the internet on how to safely enjoy and help protect wildlife, as well as posting environmental advisories, such as avalanche forecasts. Broad in scope, the responsibilities of wardens are central to meeting the major objectives of our country’s National Parks:

To protect for all time representative natural areas of Canadian significance in a system of national parks, to encourage public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of this natural heritage so as to leave it unimpaired for future generations.
