Parks Canada

Parks Canada (French: Parcs Canada) is the agency of the Government of Canada which manages the country's 37 National Parks, 11 national park reserves, 5 National Marine Conservation Areas, 171 National Historic Sites, one National Urban Park (Rouge), and one National Landmark (Pingo). Parks Canada is mandated to "protect and present nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage, and foster public understanding, appreciation, and enjoyment in ways that ensure their ecological and commemorative integrity for present and future generations".
The agency also administers lands and waters set aside as potential national parklands, including ten National Park Reserves and one National Marine Conservation Area Reserve. More than 450,000 km2 (170,000 mi2) of lands and waters in national parks and national marine conservation areas has been set aside for such purposes.
