Dear Prime Minister of Canada, Minister of Environment, Premier of British Columbia, and Leaders of Opposition Parties,

CC:  Kootenay-Columbia MP, David Wilks and Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett,

I strongly urge you to complete the world’s first Peace Park, Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, by creating a national park in the lower one third of B.C.’s Flathead River Valley.

I further request that a Wildlife Management Area be designated on provincial land in B.C.’s Southern Rockies to connect the Waterton-Glacier World Heritage Site to Canada’s Rocky Mountain Parks to the north and a comprehensive long-term plan for the entire Elk Valley that reconciles its world-class wildlife and wilderness values with the its metallurgical coal resources, in keeping with recommendations made in the UNESCO 2010 World Heritage Committee report.

We have an unprecedented opportunity to bring British Columbia into one of the greatest stories of peace and protection on the planet: the Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.

British Columbia took a welcome first step in February 2010 by establishing a ban on mining and oil and gas development in the Flathead. Removing the threat of industrial development in the B.C. Flathead has cleared the way for completing the Peace Park and connecting it to the Rocky Mountain wildlife sanctuaries to the north.

If we can seize this chance to protect the B.C. Flathead in these ways, we can truly claim a share of one of the greatest areas of natural wilderness in the world.

I strongly believe that British Columbia must do its part to protect one of the most significant wilderness areas in the world.

Thank you,
