To consider whether Canada's heritage is being effectively managed in relation to other environmental management issues, it is important to start by looking at how ‘heritage’ is defined. A good place to start is by examining definitions used in Canadian politics, legislation and practice. What do we know and understand about broader community perspectives, and what are the emerging directions? Effective environmental management needs to be open and responsive to changing understandings of heritage. Especially if it is to effectively recognise and conserve heritage values. Even after many lengthy consultation processes, the will to bring about improvement appears to be lost in time delaying rhetoric.
Take a look at this video posted on youtube by Toronto Band GaiaisiMusic. It is powerful and disturbing and clearly shows frustration and anger towards the issues of the environment and cultral heritage values.
Caution: this video contains language and images that may be found disturbing.
