Multi-year fees for entry, camping, lockage and mooring and other revenues (excluding business licences) were approved in June 2005 for the years 2005-2006 to 2008-2009. New revenues are to be directed to maintain and improve associated services and facilities.
National Consultations were held prior to the User Fees Act in 2003-2004. Parks Canada consulted locally with the public and stakeholders through meetings with advisory and client groups and through direct mailings. On a corporate level, Parks Canada consulted with national stakeholders and interest groups and conducted a national public opinion poll and focus group sessions. Notice was also provided on the Parks Canada website on proposals for fee increases.
There was widespread acceptance of the fee proposal on the condition that Parks Canada honours its commitment to invest the related revenue growth to rebuild deteriorated visitor facilities. To address concerns raised by users during consultations, Parks Canada made three major adjustments to its multi-year fee strategy prior to approval:
Following consultations, a comparison of Parks Canada's proposed fees with those charged by parks organizations in other countries was conducted. This research was carried out in the summer of 2004 and was incorporated into the submission. The Parks Canada's multi-year fee strategy was tabled in Parliament in March 2005 pursuant to the User Fees Act.
On July 1, 2006 and again on January 1, 2008, the Government of Canada implemented a 1% reduction to the GST. This affected all fees seeing that the GST is included in all of Parks Canada approved fees. These reductions are not reflected in the date last modified column.
