Park Watch Stewardship
By developerThe Friends’ Park Watch Stewardship Program has been in existence since 2001, and since then, Volunteer Stewards have actively taken on the role of helping to foster a safe, beautiful and enjoyable natural environment for park users of all kinds.
Park Watch Stewards provide a visible presence that encourages responsible park use while providing user education and the reporting of important observations via a new mobile Park Watch app to Fish Creek Provincial Park staff and the Friends. Providing assistance and information to park visitors, especially those who may be new to Fish Creek or the city, is one of the most rewarding ways to create awareness and encourage environmental stewardship.

Park Watch Steward Training takes place in spring each year. Please note that Stewards volunteer in teams of two; if you’d like to get involved, consider recruiting a family member or friend to join you – or we can pair you up with a new friend! First year Stewards are also required to obtain a current Police Information and Vulnerable Sector Check.
