  Canadian Heritage Rivers System
A fundamental principle of the CHRS is that the nomination and management of Canadian heritage rivers remains with the government - the provincial governments in the south, the territorial and federal governments jointly in the north, and the federal government in NATIONAL PARKS and other federal lands.
The CHRS is administered by the Canadian Heritage Rivers Board, which is composed of 15 members - 2 appointed by the federal government (one from the DEPARTMENT OF INDIAN AND NORTHERN AFFAIRS CANADA and one from Parks Canada) and one appointed by each of the provincial and territorial governments.
The goal of the CHRS is to establish a system of Canadian heritage rivers that reflects the diversity of Canada's rich river environments and celebrates the importance of rivers in Canada's history and society.
