What are the proposed Controlled Recreation Area (CRA) designations. How would CRA’s be used to Support Implementation of Valemount to Blue River SRMP?
CRAs are applied in specific areas where the intensity of activity and resource values require more concentrated management. CRAs place more management responsibility on commercial operators to ensure the safe and orderly use of the designated area. They are established as part of a commercial tenure. In this planning context, CRAs are being tested on a pilot project basis in parts of the snowmobile closure zone where there are very high value heli-ski runs and a need for enhanced management and enforcement of the snowmobile closure. Government is developing a comprehensive Commercial Recreation and Resort policy framework, which will build on the CRA pilot project and provide broader direction and guidelines for future use of CRAs. Full implementation of the CRA proposals that were tabled during the SRMP planning process will occur, subject to the new policy framework and based on lessons learned from the pilot project.
