Lighthouse at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia

The maps in this section depict nationally and internationally recognized natural areas set aside for conservation and enjoyment. There are exceptional sites all across Canada, from the Atlantic Provinces to the west coast, from the Prairies to the far north. Numerous outdoor activities, such as hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, biking and canoeing, can be enjoyed at these sites.

Each map has three background layers to choose from to provide a variety of information. For example, the ecozones in which the attractions are located describe the landscape and the flora and fauna at the sites; another background layer includes a relief map and the third, the political divisions. What's more, the attractions have links to local and provincial tourist Web sites giving further information.
