BC Parks: Celebrating 100 Years of Recreation and Protection
In 2011, BC Parks will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Unfortunately, budget constraints and other priorities make it very difficult for the agency to plan and mount much of a celebration. EKOS Communications, in partnership with the [Elders Council for Parks of British Columbia](http://www.elderscouncilforparks.org), a not-for-profit dedicated to the advancement of sound policy and practice with the establishment and management of protected areas, has stepped forward to ensure that this historic event is properly commemorated.
EKOS Communications has completed the production of the first in a series of short videos (approx. 15 mins). Production has commenced on the second which will tell the story of Strathcona Provincial Park - a tale of conflict and resolution replete with mass arrests followed by community engagement and involvement.
Depending on the availability of further funding, additional videos will be produced. Also, there is a keen interest in developing a web-based interactive learning resource along with podcasts.
