Re: Update from Parks Canada regarding Watts Road boardwalk in Prince Edward Island National Park Community Engagement Survey: Coastal Access at Watts Road in PEI National Park Parks Canada has received input from the Rural Municipality of North Shore and community members, including residents of Watts Road, sharing how important the Watts Road area is, expressing concerns as well as interest in the opportunity to both learn more and provide input to the process of determining the viability of future coastal access at Watts Road. In light of this feedback, Parks Canada paused the decommissioning of the Watts Road boardwalk infrastructure to provide more time to for engage the community and receive input from interested parties. During the summer and early fall of 2021, Parks Canada undertook an exercise to re-examine the decision to decommission the boardwalk and ensure we were considering all potential options. This exercise concluded that replacing the current boardwalk is not possible given the ecological sensitivity of this area and the Agency’s legislated mandate to protect these areas for all Canadians. Based on the Ecological Impact Assessment and careful review of ecosystem features in this area, it will not be possible to establish an alternate path that crosses the Zone I habitat or that arrives at the same location on the coast. Parks Canada supports maintaining pedestrian access to the coast from Watts Road, and the boundary corridor is the option that reflects this while upholding the Agency’s legislated mandate to all Canadians. An online survey (English and French links below) is currently live and provides a forum for capturing feedback and constructive input about coastal access in the Watts Road area of PEI National Park via the PEI National Park boundary corridor. Your response is important to help inform decision-making and next steps. Responses to the survey are anonymous. The survey consists of 6 questions and will be open until January 14, 2022. Paper copies of the survey are available upon request by calling 902-672-6350 or by emailing ParcsCanadaIPE-ParksCanadaPEI@pc.gc.ca.

We appreciate your comments and your interest in the future direction of coastal access at Watts Road in PEI National Park.
