BC Parks 100 Projects and Sponsorship Opportunities

BC Parks celebrated its 100th birthday (BC Parks 100) in 2011. There were over 100 events across the province throughout 2011 to recognize our world-class parks and protected areas system. These events engaged as many of our 20 million visitors as possible and attracted new visitors too. BC Parks 100 events drew together rural and urban communities, First Nations, youth, artists, tourists, and individuals interested in natural and cultural heritage. The celebrations included contests, conservation projects, recreational opportunities, a conference and other events.
