This series highlights Canada's stunning parks and sites that protect the environment and showcases the various historic aspects of our country. Parks Canada protects and administers 37 national parks, 10 national park reserves, 171 (out of 1004) national historic sites, 5 national marine conservation areas, and one national urban park (as of 2023).
Being the traditional hunting and gathering territory of the Mi'gmaq, "Kouchibouguac" is of Mi’gmaq origin and means “river of the long tides.” Designated a Dark Sky Preserve by the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, this New Brunswick park is a mosaic of salt marshes, peat bogs, freshwater systems, Acadian woodland and sandy beaches. The earliest archaeological evidence of Indigenous peoples inhabiting and harvesting the natural resources dates back about 4,000 years. There are 26 known Indigenous archaeological sites in the park, spanning from the Maritime Archaic period to the park’s establishment in the late 1960s.
