Manitoba: Canada's Wapusk National Park - Polar Bears & So Much More - Canada's Wapusk National Park on the shores of Hudson's Bay in the north-eastern corner of Manitoba is remote and access is available only through a handful of approved commercial tour operators.

Nova Scotia's many expansive nature parks have so much to offer – from endless rivers to wilderness camping, to sandy beaches and massive forests.

They span everything from Newfoundland's rugged south coast, maritime barrens, and the Tablelands of Gros Morne, to the windy peaks of the Torngat Mountains and the sub-Arctic tundra of northern Labrador.

Northwest Territories Parks - Imagine hiking in a National Park at the top of the world, where caribou spend the summer. Canoe a wild northern river few have ever seen.

Sirmilik National Park represents the Northern Eastern Arctic Lowlands Natural Region and portions of the Lancaster Sound Marine Region. The park will comprise three separate land areas. Bylot Island is a spectacular area of rugged mountains, icefields and glaciers, coastal lowlands and seabird colonies.

Those with a passion for the outdoors can find a range of experiences from the wild and challenging to family oriented outings.
