With funding from Ministry of Environment, Environmental Stewardship Division (BC Parks) and from BC 150th initiative, EKOS Communications produced this short video (approx. 15 mins) which provides a historical overview of the development of British Columbia’s spectacular protected area system from its beginning in the creation of Strathcona Provincial Park in 1911 to the challenges of today. The video features interviews with former park employees and a long-time environmental advocates combined with historical photographs. Voice-over narration ties the clips together to tell a complete story.
