Canada has one of the oldest and most extensive parks systems in the world. In addition to our renowned national parks, some provinces, like British Columbia and Ontario, have provincial parks systems that rival the national parks systems of other countries. Most provinces have provincial parks systems of significance to nature conservation.

Our goals:

  • ensure that parks and protected area networks, once established, are managed to protect their ecological integrity forever
  • ensure industrial activity is prohibited in all Canada's parks and protected areas
