How we celebrated BC Parks 100!

2011 was our big year! It all started with Strathcona Provincial Park in 1911 and from then BC Parks has grown to be one of the largest park systems in the world. We held events throughout 2011 and you joined us in celebrating this historic milestone! Click here to see what we did!

Events and contests happened all year!

Arts in the Parks, BC Parks passport program, Heritage week, Family Fishing, Jerry the Moose Kids Colouring contest and Parks Day are just a few of the things that happened.
