Like Banff National Park, Canada's first national park, Strathcona Provincial Park, BC's first national park, represents all that is good and bad about the province's protected area system.

Never before seen images from private collections capture the drama of such events as the flooding of Buttle Lake or BC's first mass arrest of protesters attempting to stop the Cream Lake Silver mine.
