Program Activity 5: Townsite and Throughway Infrastructure

Maintaining Through Highways Open

Parks Canada seeks to keep highways open to through traffic barring uncontrollable environmental events (e.g., heavy snowfalls or excess rain resulting in rockslides).  It measures this based on management attestation as to whether any of the highways were closed due to the condition of the asset during the year.
