(a) Figures on the cost of operating and maintaining Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on an annual basis for fiscal years 1993-94 to 1997-98 are presented in table 1.
(b) There have been no additional costs to the park for regional and national events—Oceans Day or Canada Day—other than staff time as the headquarters offfice supplies material for distribution. For a roll up of the salaries actually paid to all employees of the park, whether they worked part time or full time, see note (2) in table 1.
(c) Unlike many national parks, Pacific Rim National Park Reserve does note have gates to regulate visitation. Instead, park use fees are implemented via machines in the parking lots, which may result in some misunderstanding of the intent of the fees. This fee contributes to the maintenance of facilities and services such as visitor centres, information centres, washrooms, information exhibits-materials, day use areas, picinic sites, surf guards, film programs, et cetera. If visitors have purchased the western Canada annual pass and it is displayed appropriately, they do not need to purchase a day use pass from the machine in the parking lots. See note (6) on table 1.
