Nearly national parks
Canada is home to 37 national parks, including world-famous attractions from Alberta's Banff to the Cape Breton Highlands in Nova Scotia. But in addition to those heavy hitters, did you know the country has 10 National Park Reserves? These reserves look like national parks and are protected and managed in the same way, but are yet to be granted full national park status as they lie in areas with unresolved Indigenous land claims, which are being negotiated between Indigenous and federal governments. Indigenous communities continue to use the land for traditional activities such as hunting and fishing. Here we shine a light on Canada's gorgeous 10 national park reserves.
