The Gatineau Hills Clear-Cutting Controversy
Abstract
The Federal Woodlands Preservation League (FWPL) is the citizen group most widely credited by scholars (Apostle 1997; Gagnon et al. 2004; Lanzon 2014) as pressuring the federal government, through the Federal District Commission (FDC), to intervene on the clear-cutting of the Gatineau Hills, that recreational area visible from the Parliament buildings. This chapter begins with the public campaigning by recreational users of the area in the 1930s. The second section explains the behind-the-scenes negotiations between the newly formed FWPL and the federal government. Whereas previous plans and proposals for Canada’s capital called for a national park in the Gatineau Hills, the FWPL neither endorsed nor advocated for this option, one which implied the elimination of privately owned lands at Kingsmere and Meech Lake. Rather, as shown in the third section, the government forestry survey that the League’s activities prompted ultimately recommended that, given the small area surveyed, the land purchase method should be employed over the option of the national park. As shown in the next chapter on the creation of Gatineau Park, the Mackenzie King government was approving a federal woodlands more than a national park. It was this confusion that park planners would grapple with and fail to overcome, such that private lands at Kingsmere and Meech Lake would not be included in the federal woodlands known as “Gatineau Park.”
