Operations
Each Park Master Plan describes what facilities are required for the Park and where they should be located; outlines a park interpretive and signage program; and identifies any other facilities required for operations and visitor services. These facilities are developed through the Government of Nunavut’s Capital Plan over a number of years – depending on the size and scale of the park.
Similarly, each park has ongoing maintenance and operations needs which are described in Park Operations Guidelines. These guidelines include registration systems, maintenance requirements, emergency response plans, and staffing requirements. In some cases, park staff is hired on a full-time, casual or seasonal basis to ensure park facilities are kept in good shape for visitor and resident use. In addition, operations staff ensures park users are using facilities properly and are adequately prepared for safe and sustainable travel in Nunavut.
