Welcome!

The Elders Council for Parks in BC is an independent society. Our members are retired parks system employees and conservation advocates who have dedicated a significant portion of their lives to parks and protected areas in BC.

The society provides a way for our members to continue to lead and participate in volunteer projects aimed at ensuring the long-term well-being of BC's world-class parks system.

Acknowledging our park pioneers

Writing the history of BC's park system and establishing a heritage centre.

Collecting important archives and memorabilia to ensure they are preserved.

Mentoring the next generation of BC's park champions.
