Strategies / Comments

  1. Targeted emissions include GHG emissions from energy consumed by facilities and fleet owned and operated by Parks Canada.
  2. A comprehensive emission tracking system is currently in place.
  3. Targets will be given to each field unit and service centre. Progress reports will be developed for each unit and will be shared annually.
  4. The Parks Canada Master plan for the Reduction of Greenhouse Gases will be updated and communicated to staff. This plan outlines strategies to improve the energy efficiency of the fleet and facilities, implement the use of renewable fuels and renewable energy systems, and engage employees.
  5. Because Parks Canada’s GHG output increased slightly from 2005-06 to 2009-10, the actual reduction required to meet the 2011-12 target is 2.2% from the 2009-10 fiscal year.
  6. Weather conditions have a significant influence over the quantity of energy Parks Canada consumes in a given year.

Parks Canada will continue to explore the integration of environmental performance into planning, acquisition, use and disposal, which can improve the purchasing of green products, reduce the in-use costs and ensure disposal is in accordance with environmental standards. This will include the purchasing of greener products, whether more energy efficient, less harmful or containing a higher percentage of recycled material, which can make a significant impact.
  3. Internal policies on procurement and materiel management will be reviewed and updated to integrate environmental considerations in decision making, from the procurement through to the disposal process.
