The park is the scene of several thousand years of human occupation and bears witness to a past that is filled with history. Each period has left its mark, from use of the land by First Nations, through logging and hunting and fishing clubs, to the more recent period before the creation of the national park. The traces of these adventures can be found at the bend of a path, deep in the forest or on the banks of lakes and rivers. The most important ones are accessible to visitors, showcased and protected. The diversity of perspectives and stories reinforces the uniqueness of this territory. As a place of dissemination and collaboration, the national park allows First Nations to perpetuate their cultures, their knowledge and their values as they relate to the territory, and to make them known to visitors. It is also a place where the Mauricie cultural community can express itself and where local traditions, past and present, can be showcased. In this way, the park raises the regional profile and allows visitors to discover its rich living heritage.

A recognized regional player and partner in terms of tourism, conservation, economy and culture, La Mauricie National Park works with communities, First Nations, partners, local organizations and the general public. Concerted actions generate positive spin-offs for all and strengthen the region's reputation and allure.

La Mauricie National Park charms with its authenticity and beauty of its wilderness, its history and its traditions. Inspirational experiences and memories that can be created here lead to a strong sense of attachment and enthusiasm among visitors, partners, community organizations, First Nations, employees, the general public and local residents.

This strategy focuses on protecting the integrity of the park's natural heritage through conservation programs, participatory activities, and outreach integrated with visitor experience. Parks Canada will work closely with managers of the surrounding lands, local partners and organizations, stakeholders, First Nations and the general public.

This strategy underscores Parks Canada's commitment to continue its efforts to document the rich history of the park and to share its stories with visitors and the general public. This approach will include cooperation and participation of First Nations, partners, community organizations and the public. The strategy also consists of continued efforts to protect the most significant elements of cultural heritage.

This strategy consists of improving and diversifying the national park experience according to the needs and expectations of traditional and new national park target audiences such as families, youth, cultural communities and newcomers. This approach will be applied in a manner that is sustainable and consistent with the conservation and environmental protection objectives of the national park.

This strategy aims at continuing to work closely with the community and to take part in a concerted regional development approach. All parties benefit from the positive spin-offs and improve their positioning. In order to be regionally and even nationally relevant, the park will also seek to provide experiences to a greater diversity of visitors, regardless of their ability, culture, social status, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation or age.
