Just a quick entry today about the creation of a new National Park. Its creation was announced on February 5tht he Mealy Mountain National Park would be created in Labrador. The new park will stretch from Happy Valley-Goose Bay to the coast and will protect around 10 700km of the island. This will be the largest National Park in Eastern Canada.
The area of land is of important cultural value to many people in that area of Labrador. The plan is to move forward so that the history and culture of the area is used as it traditionaly has been, including by the First Nations in the area. There is also talk that the government will try to create a waterway provincal park to help create more protected area next to the new park bringing the total protected land to over 13 000km
