Yes, you should go. It's where the prairies meet the mountains and it's beautiful.
I've been in many of the parks from one end of the country to the other. They're phenomenal places. But the concern I have is with youth and young families. They're not in the parks. Us old guys like to go and stay in four- and five-star hotels and walk out on the trails on the nice days, but as kids, we were there doing a lot of camping. My kids grew up on the trails in the parks, but they're not there anymore. The average age of people in the parks is well into their fifties.
I know there was a report done in 2012. There was a round table. There was a study done of plans to try to change the use of the parks and bring more people in with immigration and new Canadians, but I don't know what has happened.
I love the free park pass for 2017. That's a good one. I'll be down there buying my two-year pass real quick, but my grandkids spend time in the parks because I take them.
I have one family that can't afford to go, one of my daughters and her kids. They can't afford to go to the park. I think we have to look at that. What are the barriers that are keeping Canadians from enjoying what I think is a phenomenal park system in this country and our national sites? That's an area I have a strong interest in.
Is that enough?
