National Landmarks (Canada)

A National Landmark is a type of protected area in Canada.

In the 1970s and 1980s, the Government of Canada envisioned establishing a system of National Landmarks in order to protect natural features considered to be "outstanding, exceptional, unique, or rare" in Canada. Such features would typically be isolated entities of scientific interest.^[1]

Only one landmark has been established—

Minister of the Environment within 10 years (until 1994).^[2]

None was ever made.
