I wonder if Wayne Long has even brought up Rockwood Park to the Prime Minister once? Considering Carney campaigned on creating 15 new national urban parks, I hope our MP inside the PM's cabinet is advocating for Rockwood Park to be one of those 15 new, national urban parks.
It also sounds like Saint John Cycling should also be stepping up to try and advocate for Rockwood Park to be considered, since they could definitely be considered a Parks Advocacy Group at this point, and probably the biggest group involved in advocating for Rockwood Park! I'm sure they'd love the prestige of saying their bike trails are within a National Park.  |
I am curious, where did you find out about this update? There seems to have been zero news coverage about this, which is disappointing.
When I look at the Parks Canada site, this shortlist appears to be related to a 2021 commitment. Is Carney planning to continue those original proposed sites?
