Parks Canada
Established in 1911, the Parks Canada Agency is a federal body that manages, on behalf of all Canadians, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas throughout Canada. The agency’s mandate is to protect and present examples of Canada’s natural and cultural heritage. Although protection of natural and cultural resources is the main focus of work, Parks Canada provides opportunities for Canadians and visitors to connect with these resources through engaging experiences. In 2016, over 24 million people visited sites and places administered by Parks Canada. Locally, the agency manages Prince Edward Island National Park, Port-La-Joye-Fort Amherst National Historic Site (NHS), Ardgowan NHS, Green Gables Heritage Place, and Province House NHS, along with several monuments and commemorative plaques found throughout the province.
Parks Canada - Stanhope Dunes Passage
Stanhope Cape is in the PEI National Park on the North Shore of P.E.I. The objective of this project is to design and build a model to better manage the visitor experience, including parking and dune crossing at Stanhope Beach.
Parking Lot Design for EV Chargers
The PEI National Park has designated parking lots located at all supervised beaches, picnic areas, and trails. The objective of this project is to design and build a model for a layout for EV chargers throughout the PEI National Park. The plan will meet the future requirements for EV chargers throughout the Park while making the most efficient use of available parking lot space.
Little Free Pantry
'Little Free Pantries' (LFP) are boxes stocked by local residents to help those who may have fallen on hard times - and they are popping up all over the world. Islanders in need can head to the pantry in front of Bedford MacDonald House on the corner of Fitzroy and Weymouth streets, where they can access healthy snacks like granola bars as well as toiletry items like tampons and toothbrushes. Many of the users are not able to access other resources like food banks. The pantry has been fashioned from an old repurposed Guardian newspaper box on which has been printed "Take what you need, leave what you can."
Design a Sustainable Little Free Pantry
The objective of this project is to design and build a model of a sustainable design(s) for community pantries for the Charlottetown Little Free Pantry initiative.
