The Parks Canada Agency is required to submit a Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS). The 2007-2009 Agency SDS is available on-line at www.pc.gc.ca under Library.
The Parks Canada Agency is in the business of sustainable development. Its mandate, “to protect and present…examples of natural and cultural heritage…for present and future generations” aligns perfectly with the government commitment to “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.”
The commitments in the 2007-2008 Corporate Plan mirror those in the 2007-2009 Agency SDS. As this Departmental Performance Report provides the Agency’s performance against the expected results contained in the 2007-2008 Corporate Plan, no separate reporting on SDS commitments will be provided.
