Comment from Cicily Mills

Proposed Glacier Discovery Walk Project in Jasper National Park:
Brewster wants to construct a bus access to a fancy view. It would
remove the "free" parking that already exists to view Tangle Falls or
to walk on the trails. It commercializes the area and means families
must fork out money instead of just walking to see a man-made
project. Read: www.glacierdiscoverywalk.ca/downloads.html. Comments
in writing by December 16, to Superintendent, Jasper National Park,
Box 10, Jasper, AB T0E 1E0 or email jasper.superintendent@pc.gc.ca or
fax 780-852-6229. The environmental assessment is being studied. Your
imput is important and very welcome. Cecily
