Parks for all
LAST FALL, the federal government announced it would create 10 new national parks and five new marine conservation areas over the next five years. In the March/April issue of Canadian Geographic, join us as we look at this, the most ambitious conservation plan since the establishment of the national park system in 1885 with the creation of Banff National Park. Online, we explore ways in which Parks Canada has helped make our parks more available to everyone while also taking steps to preserve species at risk.

Easier access - All-terrain wheelchairs help make our parks available to everyone

Saving species at risk - Rare plants and animals benefit from habitat protected by our national parks

Park points - Significant events in the history of Parks Canada
