Parks Canada / Geocaching workgroup update #1
The public submissions period ended, Dec. 31, 2005
A lenghtly discussion thread covers the lead-up and history of this issue, and can be found here].
Since the end of the submission period, Parks Canada engaged in dialogue with Geocachers/Geocaching communities, and contacted a number of 'cachers from many of the regions, asking them to assist in the next phase of their policy development.
These are the groups Parks Canada is working with:
Maritime Geocaching Association
L'Association des Geocacheurs du Quebec
Ontario Geocaching Association
Manitoba Geocaching Association
Saskatchewan Geocachers
GeoCachingEdmonton.com
Calgary Area Cachers
British Columbia Geocaching Association
Volunteers from geocaching.com
The group is now in the process of collecting and reviewing relevant existing policies (over 50 exist worldwide), reviewing the public comments (anonymously -- personal information has been removed from the documents), and preparing for discussions with a Parks Canada team (selected for their interest in Geocaching). The overall idea is that we're all working from the same broad base of ideas (why re-invent the wheel), all working together to create an outcome that works for everyone.
The group members are committed to keeping both the Geocaching community here, and their own local communities, updated regularly.

I like their new introduction. It shows williness to work together and it shows they understand our points of views. That's a good sign.
