BC Parks, Ecological Reserves, and Protected Areas

BC Parks, Ecological Reserves, and Protected Areas is an open dataset from Government of British Columbia with 5 files (HTML, WMS, KML); catalogue record updated 2026-01-28. On CanQuery you can follow the original downloads.

This dataset contains parks and protected areas managed for important conservation values and are dedicated for the preservation of their natural environments for the inspiration, use and enjoyment of the public. Places of special ecological importance are designated as ecological reserves for scientific research and educational purposes. Source data is Tantalis. *April 18, 2018: Prior to this date this dataset had one spatial boundary per park per survey plan that intersected the boundary of that park. This resulted in multiple identical boundaries for each park that had more than one survey plan overlapping it’s boundaries. The change aggregated the park data so that there is just one boundary per park with the plan numbers concatenated into a single column where each different plan number is separated by a comma.
