The Auditor General

Annual Report on Sustainable Development Strategies (Chapter 4, December 2008 CESD Report Tabled in February 2009). The chapter reviewed the implementation of one commitment from each of the 2007-2009 Sustainable Development Strategies of 11 federal organizations, including Parks Canada. The assessment concluded that Parks Canada was one of eight of the 11 organizations examined that had structures and processes in place to effectively plan, implement, and monitor the selected commitments, and could also demonstrate some achieved results.

Safety of Drinking Water: Federal Responsiblities (Chapter 1, CESD Report Tabled March 2009). The chapter reviewed, among other topics, the implementation of the Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality and a multi-barrier, risk-based approach to water quality systems in five national parks and 27 historic sites managed by the Agency. The assessment did not identify any issues as to how risks to the quality of drinking water were identified and managed at Parks Canada facilities.
