Enforcement
Parks Canada employs Park Wardens to protect natural and cultural resources, campground patrols and to protect the safety of visitors to national parks and marine conservation areas. They are designated under section 18 of the Canada National Parks Act and have the authority of peace officers. They carry firearms and other use of force options.
The Minister may also designate provincial and local enforcement officers under section 19 of the Act for the purpose of enforcing laws within the specified parks. These officers have the power of peace officers only in relation to the Act.
