Useful source for your WP article

Wongkat, I just came across a very useful source for your national parks article. Have a look at this MA thesis (esp. the first chapter). It suggests that maybe you want to end your history of Canadian National Parks in 1930 with the National Parks Act. I am writing this message to everyone in your group so you can talk about it. The MA thesis is available online, through the UBC Library's databases. You will be able to download the PDF. Go to a database called Proquest Dissertations and Theses: http://resources.library.ubc.ca/32 and search for David Vogt, 'Every Drop of Water will be Desired': the Lake Minnewanka and Spray Lakes Controversies in Rocky Mountains National Park," MA thesis, University of Northern British Columbia, 2011. It has a good bibliography too. --Greentina (talk) 22:13, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
