Thank you for that question.
I'm proud to be part of this project, in that it's the first of its kind in Canadian history: we're creating a national urban park protected through legislation. This particular park is 16 times larger than Central Park in New York City. I think we should be proud of that as well in terms of the work that we've done to do this.
The national urban park designation also provides a great approach that's tailor-made for a park's unique setting in Canada's largest city. The legislation is designed by recognizing the surroundings of where this is going to be located. Also, this new model for protected area management embraces the integrated conservation approach that recognizes the park's urban surroundings and the presence of working farms, the built heritage, cultural landscapes, major highways, roads, and rail. All of those were factored into the design of this, and it is unique and supports a designation for all Canadians in that region to enjoy.
