Killing a National Park
From: Bit Player on Big Stages
$0.60
In this chapter, Turene traces the 1992 political battle over siting a national park in Manitoba’s Lowlands, where Premier Sterling Lyon’s refusal and later Minister Harry Enns’s attempt to substitute the developed Hecla and Grindstone parks for the ecologically superior Long Point and Little Limestone Lake sites nearly derailed Parks Canada’s policy.
