CROWSNEST PASS, AB – CP is donating half a million dollars to the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) to support a “critical wildlife corridor” near the B.C.-Alberta border.
Called the Jim Prentice Wildlife Corridor, after former-Alberta Premier Jim Prentice, it is located between Crowsnest Lake and the town of Coleman, connecting crown forest reserve lands in the north to the Castle parks network (Castle Provincial Park and Castle Wildland Provincial Park) along with Waterton Lakes National Park and Glacier National park.
The $500,000 donation will help in conserving lands in the corridor with CP being the presenting sponsor for several community events aimed at raising awareness fo the area.
It will also be used to conduct research on wildlife movement through the use of cameras.
