Public Meeting Regarding Low Lake Trout Population in the Prince Albert National Park

Apr 5, 2022 | 8:33 AM

Parks Canada takes its mandate to protect the health of the environment seriously.

National parks are required to ensure fish populations are conservatively managed on a sustainable basis.

In Prince Albert National Park, studies indicate a 45% decline in lake trout populations in Kingsmere Lake over the last decade. Parks Canada is seeking input from the public to understand the reasons why, and to help with solutions.

Members of the public are invited to attend an online information session on Thursday, April 7, 2022 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm. The session will cover trout research in the park and opportunities to get involved. Register in advance by e-mailing panptrout-touladispnpa@pc.gc.ca.

There are great benefits to learning from people that use the resource the most, and hearing what they are experiencing. Time spent on the water gives a better understanding on the state of the fisheries and the health of the species.
