Individuals contribute by reducing, reusing and recycling.
Large-scale programs to manage waste or contaminated sites require a more coordinated effort. As a World Heritage Site, Banff National Park must meet the highest standards of environmental stewardship. Parks Canada cannot, however, fulfill this responsibility alone. It must rely on communities, residents, visitors, businesses and institutions for their help. Parks Canada has worked hard to lead by example and to adopt practices that reduce the impact of visitors' activities on the ecosystem.
