The Cause
Canada has a long tradition of establishing parks and protected areas, which has contributed to our global reputation as a good steward of our natural resources. Through the Canadian Parks Council, various national, provincial and territorial park agencies work together to ensure that Canadians can continue to be proud of our parks and protected areas, and their role in preserving our country’s natural capital.
