加拿大公园管理局周四向CBC新闻证实，作为“劳动力调整”的一部分，该联邦机构预计将在全国范围内削减相当于500个全职岗位的编制。
Parks Canada expects to eliminate the equivalent of 500 full-time jobs across the country as part of a “workforce adjustment,” the federal agency confirmed to CBC News on Thursday.
根据周二发送给员工并在网上发布的一份备忘录，近3000名加拿大公园管理局员工本周正收到通知，告知其工作岗位面临风险。
Nearly 3,000 Parks Canada staff are being notified this week that their jobs are at risk, according to a memo sent to employees and posted online on Tuesday.
加拿大公园管理局临时总裁兼首席执行官安德鲁·坎贝尔在致员工的信中表示：“我们已经并且正在利用一切可用手段，将可能被迫离开机构的团队成员人数降至最低。”
"We have used, and are using, every means we have to minimize the number of team members who may need to involuntarily leave the agency," Andrew Campbell, interim president and CEO for Parks Canada, said to employees.
他表示，通知大量员工是为了让更多员工有机会自主选择离开机构。裁员将在未来几个月内实施，但具体时间表尚不清楚。
He said a large number of staff were notified so that more employees will have the opportunity to leave the agency by choice. The staffing reductions will be carried out in the coming months, but the exact timeline is unclear.
加拿大公共服务联盟（PSAC）大草原区域执行副主席克里丝蒂·托马斯称即将到来的削减“令人失望”，尤其是紧随免费的“加拿大强健通行证”计划推出之后。
Krysty Thomas, regional executive vice-president for the Public Service Alliance of Canada’s (PSAC) Prairie region, called the impending cuts “disappointing,” especially coming on the heels of the free Canada Strong Pass program.
托马斯表示：“当联邦政府鼓励更多加拿大人前来游览时，必须确保公园拥有足够的员工配置和资源，以安全地接待他们。”
'When it’s full, it’s full': Canada Strong Pass raises overtourism issues in Banff "As the federal government encourages more Canadians to visit, they must ensure that the parks have the staffing and resources to serve them safely,” said Thomas.
“如今却说你们的工作对这些公园的可持续性不再至关重要，这极其令人失望、沮丧，也给这些成员带来了巨大的不确定性。”“仅靠自然流失”不足以达标此次劳动力重组是在联邦政府全面支出审查之后进行的，该审查要求加拿大公园管理局在未来三年内消化近1.45亿加元的预算削减。
“To say that now your work isn't vital to the sustainability of these parks is extremely disappointing, frustrating, and there's a lot of uncertainty for these members.” ‘Attrition alone’ not enough The workforce restructuring comes after the federal government’s comprehensive expenditure review, which requires Parks Canada to absorb nearly $145 million in budget reductions over the next three years.
一些加拿大公园管理局的项目将缩减或终止，执行某些项目和服务所需的职位数量将随之减少。
Some Parks Canada programs will be scaled back or discontinued, and the number of positions required to deliver certain programs and services will be reduced.
坎贝尔6月在致员工信中表示：“考虑到所需节省规模之大，我已明确表示，仅靠自然流失不足以达到我们的目标。”
“Given the scale of the required savings, I have been clear that attrition alone will not be enough to meet our targets,” Campbell said to employees in June.
自然能促进加拿大的经济发展吗？新报告显示，国家公园为政府带来了数十亿加元的税收收入和就业机会。
当时，托马斯表示她并未预料到会有2,917名员工（几乎占加拿大公园管理局（Parks Canada）全体员工总数的三分之二）收到这样的通知信。
Can nature benefit Canada's economy? New report says parks contribute billions in taxes, wages At that time, Thomas said she didn’t expect that 2,917 workers — or nearly two-thirds of the Parks Canada workforce — would get an “affected” letter.
这类“通知信”并不一定意味着员工会被解雇；它可能只是表示某个职位因工作量减少而不再需要，或者该职位将被彻底取消、调整，或者被转移到其他地方。
An “affected” letter doesn’t necessarily mean a layoff. It could signal that a position may no longer be required due to a lack of work, is getting fully discontinued, changed or will be relocated.
收到通知的员工可能会根据空缺职位的情况被重新安排工作，或者收到另一封通知信，告知他们将被解雇。
The “affected” staff members could get shuffled around based on vacant positions, or receive an “opting” letter, meaning they will be laid off.
根据加拿大公园管理局与PSAC（公共服务工会）之间的集体协议，被解雇的员工享有相关权益，例如可以与其他愿意离职的员工交换工作岗位。
Those who are laid off have rights under the collective agreement between Parks Canada and PSAC, such as the ability to exchange jobs with a non-affected employee who is willing to leave.
野火灾后的不确定性进一步加剧了员工的担忧。托马斯指出，对于那些仍在努力帮助贾斯珀（Jasper）从2024年的毁灭性野火中恢复的约375名员工来说，这种不确定性更加严重。那场火灾摧毁了贾斯珀镇三分之一的区域以及加拿大公园管理局在该地区20%的资产。
Uncertainty compounded by wildfire recovery Thomas said the feeling of uncertainty is compounded for the roughly 375 Parks Canada employees who are still working to help Jasper recover from a devastating wildfire in 2024. The fire destroyed a third of the townsite and 20 per cent of Parks Canada assets in the park.
“这些员工在贾斯珀和沃特顿（Waterton）的野火灾害中已经经历了巨大的困难，”托马斯说，并提到了2017年发生在沃特顿湖国家公园（Waterton Lakes National Park）的肯诺（Kenow）野火。
"These workers have already experienced tremendous hardship following wildfires in both Jasper and Waterton," Thomas said, also referencing the 2017 Kenow Wildfire in Waterton Lakes National Park.
“他们一直在为社区的重建工作付出努力，现在却担心自己的工作安全。”加拿大政府将向贾斯珀提供5.2亿加元的额外重建资金。
加拿大公园管理局的一位发言人在给CBC新闻的电子邮件中表示：“在未来几周内，所有职位的安排都将做出决定”，并会尽快公布有关这一决定对贾斯珀地区员工影响的更多详细信息。
"They're continuing to help build our community and now they're worried about the security of their own jobs." Jasper to get $520M in additional reconstruction funding from federal government In an email to CBC News, a Parks Canada spokesperson said that “over the coming weeks, decisions will be made on all positions being assessed," and more information relating to how this will impact the Jasper field unit will be made available as soon as possible.
“我们正在做出负责任的选择，以便能够为所有加拿大人提供更智能、更高效、更便捷的服务与项目，”这位发言人表示，并补充说，加拿大公园管理局（Parks Canada）在保护自然环境、保障游客安全以及创造难忘的旅游体验方面的承诺始终没有改变。
"Responsible choices are being made so that programs and services can be delivered smarter, faster and more effectively for all Canadians," the spokesperson said, adding that Parks Canada’s commitment to conservation, visitor safety and memorable experiences remains unchanged.
坎贝尔强调，在这个充满不确定性的时期，员工们并不孤单；对于需要帮助的员工，相关支持是随时可获得的。
Campbell emphasized that staff are not alone during the federal agency's period of uncertainty, and support is available for employees who need it.
“在完成我们的转型之后，加拿大公园管理局将继续成为那个我们大家都乐于为之工作的、充满活力的、面向未来的组织，并且这种状态会持续很多年。”
"At the end of our transformation, Parks Canada will continue as the strong, future-oriented organization that we all love to work for, for many years to come."
