National Park of Canada Project

What are National Parks?
National Parks are a country-wide system of representative natural areas of Canadian significance. By law, they are protected for public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment, while being maintained in an unimpaired state for future generations. National Parks have existed in Canada for over 100 years. Canada's first and oldest national park is Banff National Park (established in 1885) and is located in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta. Canada's newest national park is Tuktut Nogait National Park located north of the arctic circle in the Northwest Territories.
