Suzanne’s Experience with Parks Canada Pukaskwa National Park

Parks Canada’s Pukaskwa National Park placement is centered around the Resource Conservation team’s three priority initiatives: 1. Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System Network and Lake Sturgeon Conservation, 2. Monitoring the Ecological Integrity of the Fresh Water and Coastal Ecosystems, 3. Active management: invasive species detection and impact assessment monitoring. The initiatives are driven and guided by the Parks Canada mandate and are among the priorities identified in our 2022-2023 work plan.

Suzanne had the opportunity to be engaged and lead different aspects of those 3 priorities. In addition, she was able to network with a wide variety of mentors and connections at Parks Canada and has personally gained more confidence in her own work and ability to complete complicated reports.
