Welcome to "Let's Talk Sable Island!", an opportunity for all Canadians to have input on the first management plan for Sable Island National Park Reserve.
The management plan is a strategic guide for future management of a national park. It is required by legislation, guided by public consultation, approved by the Minister responsible for Parks Canada, and tabled in Parliament. It is the primary public accountability document for each National Park.
After successful consultation sessions with our partners, stakeholders, the Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia, and the public in Phase 1, we have prepared an overview of what we heard and a draft management plan that reflects the extensive feedback we received. Input gathered during the second phase of public consultations will be carefully considered as we work towards the final version of the management plan.

Welcome to the Sable Island National Park Reserve survey on
the Draft Management Plan. In Fall 2018, Parks Canada consulted with Canadians
and received approximately 2,096 responses to our request for input. The many
thoughtful responses received during this consultation process are a testament
to the strong connection Canadians feel for this special place. That feedback
helped guide the key priorities developed for Sable Island National Park Reserve's draft
management plan. This survey will explore some of these areas in more detail.
Information gathered today will help finalize the management plan for the park
and shape the future of this iconic offshore island. Following your review of
the Draft Management Plan, please complete our short survey.
The survey should
only take 10 minutes to complete and responses will be kept confidential.
