Feature Interview: Tursujuq provincial park
The Quebec government recently announced the creation of a new park in the province’s northern region of Nunavik.
Tursujuq provincial park covers over 26,000km of land and includes important wildlife such as beluga and fresh-water seal.
The project has been in the works for over a decade. Advocates are hailing the park as an important step in preserving both the environment and culture of Canada’s northern regions.
I recently spoke with Suzann Methot, the Quebec regional director of the Canadian Boreal Initiative, to find out more on why parks like this are so important to Canada’s North.
