Backgrounder

Local, municipal, and regional parks—along with other protected and conserved areas—play an important role in Canada’s conservation network and provide places for Canadians to connect with nature.

The Government of Canada is working with partners, including other governments, Indigenous peoples, and environmental non-government organizations, to recognize more of these important spaces in Canada’s Protected and Conserved Areas Database.
