Canadian Heritage Rivers System
The Canadian Heritage Rivers System (CHRS; French: Le réseau de rivières du patrimoine canadien) is a joint program administered by the federal, provincial, and territorial governments to conserve and protect the best examples of Canada's river heritage, to give them national recognition, and to encourage the public to enjoy and appreciate them.[1] It is a cooperative program of the governments of Canada, nine provinces, and the three territories. A 14-member national board, created under the Parks Canada Agency Act, administers the program and approves the designation of specific rivers.[2]
Individual jurisdictions can co-nominate and co-designate their respective rivers or river segments in accordance with guidance from the program Charter,[3] and Strategic Plan,[4] and the Principles, Procedures and Operational Guidelines (PPOG).[5]
