125 Years of Parks Canada

This year Parks Canada celebrates 125 years of the first national park in Banff. In 2011 it will celebrate 100 anniversary of the first national park service in the world.

To mark these special occasions Parks Canada is planning many exciting events and activities. Celebrations will include a free day at all national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas on Parks Day, July 17.

Parks Canada also announced price freeze for its entrance fees and camping fees for this year.

So come and celebrate with us by visiting a national park or two this summer.

Happy 125 Birthday Parks Canada, eh!
