The CPC is an intergovernmental leadership forum focused on actions that help national, provincial and territorial park organizations have a greater positive impact throughout Canada. One of these actions is to support park leadership development by funding the Canadian Parks Collective, a pan-Canadian professional development program delivered collaboratively by Mount Royal University, Royal Roads University, and the York University Faculty of Environmental Studies.

Through the Canadian Parks Collective, CPC collaborates with academics and universities on a variety of research projects. To connect with them on an project, contact manager@cpcil.ca or visit www.CPCIL.ca/research

The CPC is made up of directors of Canada’s federal, provincial, and territorial park agencies. Other parks and conservation practitioners, students, researchers, and community partners are encouraged to join the Canadian Parks Collective at www.CPCIL.ca to connect with colleagues across Canada

The CPC collaborates throughout the parks and protected areas community and across disciplines and sectors. To learn more about our mandate, download our strategic plan. To share your collaborative idea,  contact us
