CONSERVINGFOR THE FUTURE
THE CHALLENGEHow can we protect our coastal heritage from the effects of climate change?
Coastal erosion puts our cultural treasures and important archaeology, like the 18th-century burial grounds at the Fortress of Louisbourg, at risk.
A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTIONRoutine shoreline monitoring and partnered initiatives help scientists protect valuable cultural resources.
THE RESULT?New knowledge has provided a backbone for flood protection projects like the quay wall and the two stone groynes at Barrier Beach.
GET INVOLVEDNOW IT’S YOUR TURN
SWIM WITH SALMONJoin Parks Canada biologists as they track the population of endangered inner Bay of Fundy Atlantic Salmon by conducting snorkel surveys. This unique, day-long, backcountry expedition involves a training session and snorkelling alongside park biologists to help monitor endangered Atlantic salmon.

LE SENTIER DU BANCLe nouveau sentier du Banc au parc national Forillon a tout pour plaire aux amateurs de courtes randonnées à pied ou à vélo. Ce parcours longe la mer avec les majestueuses falaises du bout du monde en arrière-plan. J’aime contempler le phare de Cap-des-Rosiers et la plage à partir de la tour d’observation qui surplombe le marais salé et profiter d’un pique-nique à la halte avec ma petite famille.
THE PAST BOOMSSignal Hill National Historic Site is a sight to behold, but getting to experience it as a solider of the Royal Newfoundland Companies in 1862 takes it to the next level. Firing a musket over the majestic St. John’s Narrows while wearing a historic uniform—that’s Signal Hill at its best.Danni

DANCING STARSMy favourite things to do in Kouchibouguac National Park are paddle boarding in the shallow lagoon pools, watching the sun bathe the white sandy dunes when it sets, and seeing the stars dance in the reflection of the water at night. At this Dark-Sky Preserve, you get a spectacular celestial show at the end of your epic day. It’s a very humbling experience.

BELL’S INSPIRING VIEWSitting in the red chairs on the roof top terrace, looking at the beautiful Bras d’Or Lake, and imagining Alexander Graham Bell enjoying the same view, being inspired but at the same time, finding his spirit soothed and calmed by the beauty and sereneness, allowing his mind to be open to creativity and new ideas.

MICA HILL TRAILThis trail takes you through all three forest types showcased in Cape Breton Highlands National Park, past a beautiful lake to 360° of panoramic views. The mica for which the destination is named glitters on the ground around you while quartz boulders glow white amid a riot of spring blooms or fall foliage.Miranda
Interpretation Coordinator
HEMLOCKS AND HARDWOODS TRAILThe looming beauty of this trail will never lose its magic for me. Every time I visit Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site, I always make sure to carve out time to do this special trail. Over the years I keep coming back and every time my fondness for the giant, shady trees grows even deeper.Camila
