National parks are no doubt among Canadian tourism natural jewels. First established to present and protect Canadian representative examples of natural phenomena, these 39 natural regions are wild places that range from plains to mountains, to glaciers and lakes, to tundra and boreal forests, and so on forth.

National parks in Canada just team up to make Canadian tourism an experience to remember. They not only protect the wildlife and habitat diversity unique to the natural regions throughout the country but they also symbolize the power of Canada’s natural setting and also its rich cultural heritage.
