Chief Executive Officer, Parks Canada

Alan Latourelle

I think there are a few. Expanding the parks system is one. There are very few opportunities for public servants to do something that is there forever. If I look at the Nahanni expansion as an example—and I had a chance to work directly with the grand chief of the Deh Cho at that time—that is an exceptional accomplishment for Canada.

There is the expansion of the system, and I would also say sharing the best practices of conservation. When I look at our ecological restoration initiatives, for example, and how we've shared that recently internationally, that is again a reflection of the work at Parks Canada, which I have been part of, and is exceptional.
