Canada’s national park system protects a wide range of natural landscapes and historic places across the country. Managed by Parks Canada, the system includes national parks that preserve ecosystems such as the Canadian Rockies and Arctic tundra, along with hundreds of National Historic Sites of Canada that commemorate significant events, people, and places in the nation’s history. Well-known national parks include Banff National Park and Jasper National Park in the Rocky Mountains, while historic locations such as L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site preserve evidence of early Norse exploration in North America. Together these protected areas highlight both Canada’s diverse natural environments and the cultural heritage that has shaped the country.
