Comments

In 1911, the Dominion Parks Division, now known as Parks Canada, was born with a mandate to conserve Canada's splendid natural landscapes for the well-being of Canadians.

By creating the world's first national park system, Canada was inscribing the conservation of natural sites in our values, and encouraging other countries to protect their own wilderness areas.

For a century, Parks Canada has been the dedicated guardian and faithful protector of Canada's immense and magnificent natural treasures, preserving them not only for the enjoyment of Canadians, but for people around the world and for generations to come. Automatically translated

En 1911, la Division des parcs du Dominion, connue aujourd’hui sous le nom de Parcs Canada, a vu le jour avec pour mandat la conservation des splendides étendues naturelles du Canada pour le bien-être des Canadiens.

En créant le premier réseau de parcs nationaux au monde, le Canada inscrivait la conservation des sites naturels à nos valeurs et incitait d'autres pays à protéger leurs propres régions sauvages.

Depuis un siècle, Parcs Canada est le gardien dévoué et le fidèle protecteur des immenses et magnifiques trésors naturels du Canada, dont la préservation a été assurée non seulement pour le bonheur des citoyens canadiens, mais de ceux du monde entier ainsi que des générations à venir.
