Extractions: National Parks Wapusk National Park The federal-provincial agreement to establish Wapusk National Park was signed on April 24, 1996. (Wapusk pronounced waa- pusk , rhyming with "tusk" or "musk" is the Cree word for white bear.) Wapusk National Park becomes Canada’s seventh largest national park, protecting an immense lowland area of 11,475 km south and east of Churchill, Manitoba. This impressive park represents the features of the Hudson-James Lowlands Natural Region. The natural region includes eskers, permafrost and flat inland expanses of tundra. The park is the result of a successful partnership involving four parties the Government of Canada, the Government of Manitoba, the Local Government District (LGD) of Churchill, and the First Nations of Fox Lake and York Factory (represented by Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak, a political body for northern Manitoba Cree). The signing of the Agreement is the culmination of this cooperative process to reach consensus on establishing the park. A management board will be established for this national park. It will have representatives from the Government of Canada, the province of Manitoba, the LGD of Churchill, and the two First Nations of Fox Lake and York Factory, to consider matters relating to park planning and management.
