Commercial Activities and Special Events
Commercial Activities and Special Events
Commercial activities and special events that take place in national marine conservation areas play a central role in achieving management goals identified in the recently adopted Policy on the Establishment and Management of National Marine Conservation Areas. These goals include contributing to the well-being of Indigenous peoples and coastal communities, facilitating meaningful visitor experiences and enhancing awareness and understanding of national marine conservation areas. For example, commercial tourism operators are strong contributors to local economies and provide unique opportunities for visitors from across Canada and the world to experience and learn about national marineContinue reading
Commercial Activities and Special Events
Commercial activities and special events that take place in national marine conservation areas play a central role in achieving management goals identified in the recently adopted Policy on the Establishment and Management of National Marine Conservation Areas. These goals include contributing to the well-being of Indigenous peoples and coastal communities, facilitating meaningful visitor experiences and enhancing awareness and understanding of national marine conservation areas. For example, commercial tourism operators are strong contributors to local economies and provide unique opportunities for visitors from across Canada and the world to experience and learn about national marine conservation areas. Similarly, special events of various types attract a diverse array of visitors and local residents to national marine conservation areas and generate important sources of revenue for businesses and communities. As with all aspects of national marine conservation area management, the aim is to maximize the benefits derived from commercial activities and special events, while ensuring they take place in an ecologically sustainable manner that protects natural and cultural heritage.
Why we are regulating
Regulations are a means of ensuring that commercial activities and special events are carried out in a manner that
- Protects marine ecosystems and biodiversity
- Benefits local businesses
- Fosters safe and meaningful visitor experiences, and
- Advances the objectives described in the management plan of each national marine conservation area
The regulations aim to provide certainty, clarity and consistency to business owners and event organizers with respect to the requirements and restrictions associated with conducting commercial activities and holding special events in national marine conservation areas. They attempt to do so in a manner that minimizes administrative burden and cost for businesses, individuals and Parks Canada.
What we are proposing to regulate
This section describes the components of the regulations that relate specifically to commercial activities and special events. However, it is important to bear in mind that commercial activities and special events are also subject to other components of the regulations that relate to any activity taking place in national marine conservation areas. For more information on these components, please see the other summary papers in this series.
The regulations will directly address commercial activities and special events through the creation of lease, licence and permit requirements. In all cases, these authorization requirements are intended to ensure that the activities and events in question are consistent with national marine conservation area management goals. Leases, licences and permits will be issued with conditions that specify where, when and/or how the commercial activity or special event can take place within the national marine conservation area. This will contribute to mitigating impacts on natural and cultural heritage, fostering quality visitor experience and balancing the needs and expectations of different national marine conservation area users.
Scope of requirements for commercial activities and special events
|
For each authorization requirement, the application and review process, as well as the conditions specified in the lease, licence or permit, will be based on nationally consistent standards, Impact Assessment processes, and the management needs and circumstances of each site. As a result, the regulations themselves will only include a general framework for submission and assessment of applications as well as criteria for permit issuance, expiry, revocation, cancellation, and reinstatement.
At this stage, it is not anticipated that commercial activities other than those referred to above will require a lease, licence or permit under the regulations. However, other types of commercial activities taking place within national marine conservation areas will, in most cases, continue to be subject to existing authorizations under other applicable legislation and regulations. A good example is commercial fishing, which will continue to be licenced in accordance with the Fisheries Act rather than under the national marine conservation area regulations. Note that additional authorization requirements may also apply as per existing requirements under other relevant legislation and regulations.
