These times can be stressful, so it’s important to take the time to get outside and give yourself a break! You deserve it! ...

#DYK that Alex Trebek was the Honorary President of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society? He loved sharing his passion with youth and hosted multiple student geography competitions in Canada and in the United States. This #GeographyAwarenessWeek, we pay homage to one of the planet’s biggest champions of geographic knowledge and education who inspired so many. Can you answer these Parks Canada questions, Jeopardy-style?

Celebrate the beginning of #GeographyAwarenessWeek by learning about one of Canada’s newest and largest protected area: Tallurutiup Imanga! Tallurutiup Imanga is a globally significant region for its biodiversity and cultural influence, and is an ecological engine for Canada’s High Arctic marine ecosystem. It is a critical habitat for species such as polar bear, bowhead whale, narwhal, beluga whale and several seabird species. Tallurutiup Imanga is a traditional hunting g...round and a place where the vibrant culture and well-being of Inuit are strongly tied to the land and sea. Inuit Qauijimajatuqangit (traditional, current and evolving knowledge) was key to defining the boundary for Tallurutiup Imanga and will continue to inform the management of this area. Learn more about the agreement to protect Tallurutiup Imanga as a National Marine Conservation Area: www.pc.gc.ca/en/amnc-nmca/cnamnc-cnnmca/tallurutiup-imanga #GeoWeek Parks Canada Nunavut
