Executive Summary

Parks Canada protects and presents nationally significant examples of Canada's natural and cultural heritage on behalf of the people of Canada, and fosters public understanding, appreciation and enjoyment in ways that ensure the ecological and commemorative integrity of these places for present and future generations.

The study used Advanis’ proprietary General Population Random Sample (GPRS). This probability-based tool was administered to a nationally representative sample of 2,000 adult Canadians 18 years of age and older. Questions about Canadians’ knowledge and general awareness of the Parks Canada Agency, support of its mandate, leisure travel intentions and critical cross-functional issues to help inform programs and services were asked in four different waves during the 2022-23 fiscal year. The June wave occurred between June 2nd and June 30, 2022, the September wave between September 1st and September 25, 2022, the December wave between December 5th and December 31, 2022, and the final wave between February 8 and March 3, 2023.

A total of 8,523 people completed the surveys between June 2, 2022, and March 3, 2023. The data was weighted based on geographic region, gender and age using 2021 Canadian Population Census data. The total cost of the study was $66,553.28, including taxes.
