List of Quebec parks

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIS : List of Quebec parks


This is the list of federal and provincial parks and reserves in Quebec, Canada. Note that both federally and provincially administered parks in Quebec are labelled "parc national" (National Park). Quebec is the only province to call its provincial parks "national parks," stemming from a political decision to apply the term to the Quebec 'nation,' as distinguished from the rest of the country in culture, language, and law. (The provincial assembly is called the "National Assembly," for example.) This leads to confusion as to which Quebec parks are provincial, and which are national (federal). The federal government, in response, decided to add the words "of Canada" to the official names of its properties. Outside of official publications, however, the term is never used.
