The Eagle Point-Blue Rapids Parks Council is a non-profit organization that cooperatively manages the two protected areas. This collaborative multi-stakeholder organization is comprised of representatives from local municipalities, volunteer-based recreation and service organizations, industry, environmental organizations and Alberta Parks. Together, the Parks Council and Alberta Parks guide the funding, planning, operations and management of EPBR.
