Parks Canada permit fee correction

Summary#

This is an erratum published in the Canada Gazette, Part I on June 28, 2025. It corrects a fee entry in the Parks Canada Agency’s Parks Canada Master List of Fees, changing the charge for new non‑residential construction projects above 465 m2 to $4,250 plus $1.20 per m2. The HTML version of the original notice (published December 21, 2024) has already been updated.

What it does#

• Replaces the previously published fee line for "New construction for projects with a gross floor area greater than 465 m2" in the "Non‑residential use" section of development permit fees.
• The corrected fee is: $4,250 + $1.20 per m2 of gross floor area.
• Notes that the online (HTML) version of the earlier notice has already been modified to show this correction.

Who's affected#

• People and companies applying for development permits from Parks Canada Agency for non‑residential new construction larger than 465 m2.
• This includes developers, architects, contractors, consultants and property owners who budget for permit fees on Parks Canada lands.
• The source does not say whether the correction changes fees already charged or only applies going forward; that is unclear.

Why it matters#

• It changes how much large non‑residential projects on Parks Canada land will pay for a development permit. The fee now has a fixed base plus a per‑square‑metre charge, so bigger projects pay more.
• For anyone preparing a permit application or a project budget, this correction affects the expected permit cost and helps avoid surprises.
