Work with Ontario to enhance the country's first urban National Park: Rouge National Urban Park.

What success looks like

Created Canada's first urban National Park, Rouge National Urban Park.

Government's narrative on progress

Legislation passed in June 2017 expands the size of the Rouge National Urban Park and guides how the park will be managed. This Act strengthens ecological protections and will ensure that ecological integrity is the top priority in the management of Canada's first national urban park, while recognizing its important cultural heritage and providing greater certainty for the continuation of park agriculture. In October 2017, the government of Ontario transferred 6.5 square km of land to Parks Canada for inclusion in the Park.

Note: this is the government's own description, not an independent assessment.
