This video journey
takes us through 21 Canadian Parks from East to West. Starting
with L’Anse aux Meadows National Park in Newfoundland, where Vikings
waded ashore a thousand years ago. We explore the forested parks
of central Canada to the stunning mountains of the West. Included
are Gros Morne, Cape Breton Highlands, Kejimkujik, Prince Edward
Island, Kouchibouguac, Fundy, La Mauricie, Point Pelee, Ellesmere
Island, Grasslands, Riding Mountain, Waterton Lakes, Banff, Jasper,
Kootenay, Yoho, Wood Buffalo, Nahonni, Pacific Rim and Kluane… majestic
and resplendent.
Stocky Frenchmen, called voyageurs, first explored this northern
Continent, touching many of the areas now set aside as National
Parks. Now, wild creatures unify this land of Canada, making
the Parks a living refuge. Without them, it would be lifeless
scenery.
Today, people come from crowded cities, to get back to the
roots of our collective memories. The commonplace is left
behind in this land that too few see. Find the natural heart… the
true spirit… of Canada’s National Parks!
