There has been alot of untruths spread about the proposed park in the Flathead. The facts are:
1. It is only proposed for ONE THIRD of the valley. The part farthest away from Fernie.
2. The proposed waterton park completion is proposed to be a wilderness area. Which means no development outside of tent sites and outhouses.
3. While guide outfitters would be affected they would be compensated and would be allowed long transitions for their territory. I believe the outfitters around the recent Nahanni park expansion were compensated and given 20 years to transition to a new territory.
Not a common mistruth. But just for clarification. You can ski anywhere you want in a National Park. And harvey pass is not in the proposed park area. Far outside it in fact.
