Even in 1965, when the Wildlife Service was promoted to full branch status within the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, the fact that it remained a sister agency in the same department encouraged close cooperation with Parks. In 1971, however, the federal Department of the Environment was created, and CWS was assigned to the new department while the Parks Branch was not. In an effort to bridge the interdepartmental gap, an agreement was drawn up between Parks Canada and the Environmental Management Service, under which CWS had been subsumed. The terms of this protocol committed Parks to supply 16 person-years to sustain CWS positions for parks-related work and to contribute to operating budgets for initiatives in which the branch had an interest, such as wildlife inventories and large mammal management. In addi- tion, major studies were conducted at many key sites within the national parks, on the environmental impact of visitors on soils, vegetation, and wildlife. Although subsequent realignments of departmental affiliation and responsibility tended to underline the arm's-length relationship between the two organiza- tions, CWS and Parks continued to sustain a variety of joint projects, some collaborative and some con- tractual, until 1984, when the imposition of budget cutbacks effectively ended their historic partnership in wildlife management. Several CWS staff participated in planning for potential national park sites in Canada's far north. The list included Axel Heiberg Island, Bathurst Inlet, Bylot and northern Baffin islands.
