Canada’s treasured Jasper National Park could be on its way to gaining a theme park-like attraction.
Brewster Travel Canada, owned by a US-based company, wants to blast out the side of the cliff beside the Icefields Parkway to build the “Glacier Discovery Walk” – a massive infrastructure “skywalk”, and charge people who wish to admire the view.
CPAWS believes that this may signal the start of a renewed surge of inappropriate commercial development within our Rocky Mountain national parks. We were able to stop this trend in the 1990s in Banff. Twenty years later, it’s time to take a stand once more to protect the natural wonders of our mountain national parks.
Take action today and let the government know that this kind of commercial development has no place in our national parks.
In CPAWS view, the Glacier Discovery Walk is an unnecessary infrastructure in our national park that would limit public access to this spectacular view. Read our news release here.
