Parks Canada 100 Contest
byIt’s the 100th anniversary of Parks Canada this year and to celebrate, they’re hosting events around the country.
This weekend you can check out Parks Canada Day in Stanley Park at Brockton Oval with activities for the whole family and concert stage headliner, K’Naan.
A highlight of my summers growing up were always our family’s camping trips. We’ve camped across the country and around the province, from Kimberley to Wells Gray. BC itself has 7 National Parks, from the Rockies to Vancouver Island. We’re very fortunate to have such a vast outdoor playground in our province and from coast to coast, to coast.
Parks Canada has offered up two family prize packs for me to offer my readers. Each prize pack includes:
1 x Family Discovery Pass ($136.40)
2 x Parks Canada Centennial water bottle
4 x Parks Canada centennial key rings
4 x Parks Canada centennial pins
Here’s how you can enter to win one of these family prize packs from Parks Canada:
I will draw two winners at 10:00am on Tuesday, July 19, 2011. Follow @ParksCanada on Twitter for more information and offers during their 100th anniversary this year.
Update My winners are Cam and @theMizzGoldie!

Jasper National Park was probably my most recent favorite. Not as busy as Banff NP and a lot of great hiking trails!
My favourite is the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve of Canada, I’ve been over to several of the islands over the years and never left disappointed!
Pacific Rim National Park – spectacular scenery and great surfing!
Banff National Park, the most wonderful place on Earth!
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve!
Banff – we had a great time roasting marshmallows!
Gotta go with Kootenay National Park as it’s the one I grew up with. Remember that first hike up to the glacier with my Dad & brother, ended up so worn out by the end my Dad had to carry me back to the car.
Pacific Rim National Park for its lush rainforest, spectacular ocean views, and peace!
I love the Kootenay National near Radium Hot Springs
never been to any of these before. Jasper National Park of Canada
sounds like one i would like to visit
Glacier National Park is near the top of my list!!
Jasper National Park – Great stop over on the way to Drumheller!
I love parks, Gwaii Haanas National is on my list,
Jasper or Banff National Park-both are great to visit
Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida would be my dream park, never been, yet. I am going to Jasper and Banff next month though so it would only be fitting that I had a Parks Canada water bottle to take with me ; )
I would love to return with my family to our Honeymoon destination – Banff National Park.
Yoho national park
Jasper National Park
Off to waterton lakes next week
Jasper and Banff are my favs to visit and would love to visit either in the winter sometime as well.
Jasper has to me my favourite as well!

Banff National Park of Canada!
Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island. Home of the tallest cliff face on our planet as well as the Penny Ice Cap – the last (6000 sq km) chunk of ice left over from the most recent ice age. Stellarly beautiful and even more special by the fact that it seems less than 500 visitors per year. Last time I was visited there were 5 of us in an 18,000 sq km park 🙂
Banff National park is my favourite
I am mostly a provincial park girl but have to say I have had some fun times at Banff and Jasper.
Pacific Rim National Park : )
Kootenay National Park of Canada
We have so many beautiful parks in Canada. Some that need permanent protection from development/mining etc so its great to see organizations like Parks Canada, CPAWS etc not only all they can to protect parks but also to celebrate them.
Pacific Rim National Park is the best because it goes on forever and is truly wild.
I just got back from hiking the West Coast Trail in Pacific Rim National Park – stunning!
I desperately want to go back to the Pacific Rim park. I underestimated how beautiful it was going to be and I didn’t see enough of it.
Being an Islander I’ll have to say Pacific Rim National Park-It is a magical place!
Jasper!
A lot of people forget about Yoho when they make their way through Banff or Jasper. The whole Rocky Mountain range is gorgeous.
Pacific Rim National Park Reserve of Canada is my favorite.
Kejimkujik National Park of Canada
Banff National Park! Never been there, but it’s the one that I’m most interested in visiting since long time ago.
Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site..Never been but it’s on my bucket list to visit…since grade 4..although in grade 4 I didn’t have a bucket list but I did do a research project on it and ever since I’ve wanted to go visit
Banff National Park, I grew up watching it change season to season. I absolutely Love and remember all the great memories there!
Jasper — Love it.

I grew up next to Pacific Rim National Park, and my goal is to visit all of Canada’a national parks in my lifetime 🙂
Wells Gray Park in Clearwater is the most beautiful and stunning park I’ve ever been to in my life.
We are so lucky to have parks in this country. I have learned to appreciate our parks more after experiencing places without parks.
Banff National Park of Canada!
Jasper and Pacific Rim are tied in my mind!
Pacific Rim is beautiful! I also like Point Pelee. Used to go there all the time when I was a kid.

Pacific Rim National Park… dig your toes in the sand, photograph the sea life and breathe in the salty air. Take nothing home but fantastic memories, a suntan and the promise of your visit revealing even more natural wonders.
Loved Banff National Park. Can’t wait to return.

I worked in Jasper National Park one summer and it was great. Coming from the city the amount of wild life you see every day in Jasper is just staggering. So I’d have to say Jasper National Park is my fav.
