Canada has a long tradition of parks and protected areas establishment, and has earned a global reputation as a good steward of our natural, cultural and built resources. Canada’s national, provincial and territorial park agencies work together, through the Canadian Parks Council, to ensure that Canadians can continue to be proud of the role parks and protected areas play in in conserving and celebrating Nature’s contribution to our collective health and well-being.
