Voyageurs National Park is front and centre in Washington today.


Park, County and city leaders have teamed up to promote the park as part of Voyageurs National Park Day at the Capital.

Cory MacNulty of the Voyageurs National Park Association says its an important day.

"It's an historic event," says MacNulty. "It's the first time we're really doing this going as a number of interest stakeholders in the park, going to Washington D.C. together to try to raise awareness with our delegation how important Voyageurs National Park is."

The group is holding several meetings with government officials and hosting a reception.
