Fire management plan 2020 : Banff, Yoho, and Kootenay National Parks / Resource Conservation, Fire Management Section.: R64-586/2020E-PDF
"This document encompasses fire management planning for Banff, Kootenay and Yoho national parks (BKY). The plan integrates up-to-date policy, strategic direction, and field-level actions in the attainment of ecologically positive and socially responsive outcomes. It is founded upon principles of the Parks Canada Agency (PCA) that emphasize long term sustainability, cross-functional delivery, and a nationally consistent approach to fire management. … The primary mandate of the protection of the public and infrastructure from the negative effects of wildfire are addressed in this plan through clearly defined minimum resourcing levels, preparedness guidelines and wildland fire zoning. Furthermore, fuel management implementation guidelines are focused on maintaining or improving existing fuel management units in the wildland-urban interface and creating landscape level fuel breaks to assist in the safe implementation of prescribed fire in BKY"--Executive summary, page 3.
