One more thing about yesterday's Alberta Parks release, which has confused A LOT of people.
The list of 170 parks with partnerships is *NOT* the same as the original list of 164 parks that had been set for removal.
The phrase "or maintained" is doing some heavy lifting here...

The 170 parks on this list the government put out yesterday are just those with existing partnerships, which could be from last week or last decade.
Take a quick scan and you'll see most were never on list of 164 proposed park removals. (Fish Creek? Canmore Nordic Centre? etc.)

How many partnerships are NEW?
The exact number is unclear.
The release says "more than a dozen" of the 170 are new: https://www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?xID=759617E8C3604-04A7-4372-CE47C2D736E29D46

But Alberta Parks has so far refused to provide a more specific number, or say who the partners are:

Bottom line:
The "list of 170 parks" with partnerships is a *different* list of than the "list of 164" parks that had been set for "delisting."
Clear?
