Cultural planning as an instrument for locating Ontario provincial parks within the valuable landscape of a community: A case study of Sandbanks Provincial Park in Prince Edward County, Ontario.
A thesis presented by Anne Fitzpatrick to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in Planning.

This research will examine two major subjects: Ontario Parks and cultural planning. The purpose of this research is to illustrate the interconnectivity between the two subjects and to determine if they can be beneficial to each other.

The research will also provide a broad overview of major events and activities, such as art shows, archaeology digs, and history weekends that have taken place in a variety of provincial parks in Ontario. In addition, the research will contribute to existing landscape theory. The audience for this research is those who are involved with or interested in the planning and management of activities within Ontario Parks, the cultural planning process in Ontario communities, and landscape theories.
