message: On this map I recently bought, there is a big square of land in Northwest Lake Superior that says "National Marine Conservation area - Proposed" There's also a name, but I forget it. This is not mentioned here, is there a reason? -- Scorpion 14:08, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Lake Superior

message: Notes on original park names and dates of establishment/renaming were first included as footnotes, then moved into a Remarks column. Does this work better, or look too crowded? Also, there was a column listing exact establishment dates, helpful for research, and park anniversaries. I suggest putting it back in as a sortable column, or at least putting it in Remarks or as footnotes. Thoughts? If you can figure how to eliminate that odd narrow column on the right of the National Parks list, more power to you.  Yoho2001 07:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Formatting

message: I posted the same question on Template talk:National parks of Canada: Is there a difference between a Marine Park and Marine Conservation Area? If Fathom Five for example, is titled as a Marine Park, why is it listed as a NMCA? I only ask because I'm reading in the news that Harper's announcement today will be for the "first NMCA" - which seems true, if we ignore these categorizations. --Padraic 13:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I decided to be bold and create Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area, so feel free to discuss this over there. --Padraic 13:22, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Bold, indeed, Padraic. Lake Superior NMCA was only just created in September 2015, after having been proposed for many years. Parks Canada news releases confused the matter, duping many into thinking it was an accomplished fact when it was not. Similar announcements have been made about other proposed parks. The legislation to create them can be years away from the announcement of intent. Yoho2001 (talk) 00:14, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:   In know the way is generally confusing. Parks Canada generally consider a park created when a "Land Transfer Agreement" is signed with a province or a territory. Like for La Mauricie National Park, the agreement was made in 1970, but the park was etablished only in 1977. Maybe we should put note on the parks who are actually exist because of these agreements (Pukaskwa, Bruce Peninsula and Mealy Mountains). --Fralambert (talk) 01:12, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Any objections to this idea?
I don't think there are photos for every park, but they could be added over time.
It seems like a more inviting format to me.

replies: text: I've previously considered using that kind of format, but we don't have images for a good chunk of the parks (though to be fair, I haven't looked in about a year). I also find the coordinates a bit misleading and not particularly useful (a map is a much easier way to show the location of parks). As for the descriptions, I suppose they could work, but you would have to make sure they were sourced. -- Scorpion0422 23:37, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

text: The US list is a straightforward list of the 56 national parks in the country. I like that. It isn't cluttered with park reserves, proposed or abolished parks, or any other sort of parkland managed by the park service (there are 417 in total). It's a list of the "national parks", full stop. Another page lists all official units of the national park system. I think we need to decide what sort of page this one is--a list of the 38 national parks, or a list of all units of the national park system (more then 220). I'd suggest it be a list of national parks, without adding other kinds of parklands like Rouge National Urban Park, NMCAs, NMCARs, or NPRs. Yoho2001 (talk) 06:35, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  I prefer the larger, more inclusive model. The Canadian park system has been much more successful than the US system in no small part due to its greater flexibility. If it is relevant and verifiable it deserves consideration. Mediatech492 (talk) 16:17, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I've added Gatineau Park to the list . Due to a massive amount of bureaucracy you'd expect in the Ottawa area, it is the only "Federal park" in the country. Instead of creating an entirely new article for the one "federal park", which is basically a "national park" I just added it to the list. UrbanNerd (talk) 03:43, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Best would be write about Gatineau Park in Protected areas of Canada, it is probably the best place to talk about the park. National Parks of Canada is more a place to talk about the parks of Parks Canada. --Fralambert (talk) 02:34, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Gatineau Park is federal in that a federal body (the National Capital Commission) governs it. Similarly, the National Battlefields Commission manages National Battlefields Park in Quebec City. But that's not on the list, either. Federal management does not a national park make. I agree with Fralambert, as "national park" refers to a particular kind of federal park, usually administered by a national park service. A few years ago, National Geographic got confused, and used the Parks Canada beaver symbol to identify Gatineau Park. They later corrected that. Yoho2001 (talk) 00:21, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

message: If you sort the parks by area, Kluane (area = 5,900 square km) is ranked higher than Wood Buffalo (area = 44,972 square km). I suspect that this is because Kluane has two values for its area, the value for the park and the value for the reserve. Both values are lower than the area of Wood Buffalo, but the sorting algorithm is messed up by the formatting of the value for Kluane, or something like that. I have no idea how to correct this.
