Nature Canada applauds Turmel’s proposed bill protecting Gatineau Park

March 7, 2014 (Ottawa) – Nature Canada will be present on Parliament Hill today to signal our strong support for NDP MP Nycole Turmel’s private member’s bill protecting Gatineau Park. Gatineau Park is both a local and national treasure right here in the heart of the National Capital Region and it is badly in need of this kind of protection.

Nature Canada is adamant in its support for Bill C-565, which would protect the park’s biodiversity for future generations by, among other things, conferring legal protections and prohibiting the sale of public land that makes up the park.
