End Notes

  1. Paraphrased from a statement by the U.S. Interior Secretary, Dirk Kempthorne, in writing to President G. W. Bush in the Future of America’s National Parks.
  2. 75% of Parks Canada’s $100 million in revenue is associated with three program activities (i.e. promote public appreciation and understanding, enhance visitor experience and townsite management). The remaining revenue is from real property and business fees and other miscellaneous sources. Actual expenditures and revenues presented are from modified cash-based financial information.
  3. Defined as having heard, seen, read or talked about the respective program ‘a lot’ or ‘somewhat’ in the last year.
