Any objections to grouping the parks by province/territory instead of alphabetically? (Teryx 19:28, 21 December 2005 (UTC))

- It looks much better than it would alphabetically!

[edit] Arranging Parks
I agree that they should be done east to west or west to east..(Stormbay 19:20, 16 March 2006 (UTC))
[edit] National Parks?
Are Downsview National Park and Saguenay - St. Lawrence Marine Park realy national parks? They don't show up in the Parks Canada list. Qyd(talk)22:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- According to the Downsview Park site it says "The long-anticipated start of development of Canada's First National Urban Park at Downsview Park is set to begin." So it would seem that they are planning on turning it into a National Park, but is not at the moment.
- This page on the Parks Canada website lists the Saguenay - St. Lawrence Marine Park as a "National Marine Conservation Area", and it is a park in Quebec. So someone probably put those two facts together and got National Park. Qutezuce 23:12, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
- And it looks as though the same can be said about Fathom Five National Marine Park. Qutezuce 23:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lake Superior
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)
- I've inserted a note about Lake Superior NMCA under "Adding to the System". Check out the reference for expanded information and a map. Yoho2001 09:53, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Formatting
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)
