2016 Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site Announcement Grand total investment*: $3.9M

Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site       

Kejimkujik National Park and National Historic Site is the only Parks Canada site which is designated both a national park and a national historic site. With 381 square kilometres of rolling hills and waterways, the land tells the tale of the Mi'kmaq, carved in stone and illuminated through story and legend. Kejimkujik is a gentle wilderness where generations of families have canoed, camped and connected to nature. It is a Dark Sky Preserve and a biodiversity hotspot which protects vital habitat for numerous species, including Species at Risk, within two separate regions – an inland parcel and a coastal region (Kejimkujik Seaside).
