Alberta Park Changes and Abandonments in Western Parks
In Ottawa on June 6 Senator W A Buchanan moved second reading of a bill to amend the national parks act. It would revert Nemiskam and Wainwright from national parks to provincial control, removing areas east of Chief Mountain Highway from Waterton and south of Mountain View. Nemiskam antelope park and Wainwright buffalo park are also abandoned as populations rise. Land from Wainwright park, used for military and experimental purposes, would revert to provinces. Cottage sites in Waterton Lakes, Yoho and Banff would allow year round residents to pay taxes and receive health services from provinces.
