Work environment

The Cap Tourmente National Wildlife Area (NWA) was created by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) in 1978 to protect the American bulrush marshes that serve as the primary habitat of the greater snow goose during migration periods, and to preserve the habitat of other migratory birds and species at risk.
The NWA was recognized a Wetland of International Significance under the Ramsar Convention in 1981, becoming the first site to earn this distinction in North America. Its many historic buildings testify to more than 400 years of human occupation and farming activity, making it one of the founding sites of Canada.
This NWA is renowned for the awe-inspiring spectacle of the greater snow geese gathering at the site by the tens of thousands during migration. The natural beauty and the wide range of outdoor activities available at this NWA make it very popular with visitors.
The Cap Tourmente NWA supervisor oversees a team composed of professionals, technicians, labourers and agents dedicated to the environment, operations and customer service on the site. This organization aims to
- protect and preserve migratory birds, species at risk and their habitats in accordance with the ECCC Canadian Wildlife Service’s mandate;
- make the NWA accessible to Canadians by offering different services (welcome centre, trails, interpretation centre, exhibits, educational activities); and
- preserve the integrity of the infrastructures and facilities.

Intent of the process
