Tapescript
Hello everyone and welcome to Canada! I'm here to tell you about some of the parks you can visit in Canada. This is a big country so you may want to visit only one or two parks and then come back again later!
If you like stepping back into the past you could visit the French speaking part of Canada. Quebec City's fortified city, called ‘La Vieille Capital’ is still completely encircled by its old walls which were built nearly 400 years ago. You can see uniforms and weapons used by French and English soldiers 300 years ago.
On the west coast of Newfoundland at L'Anse aux Meadows you can visit a reconstructed Norse hut. You can learn how they built their ships and how they used metal to make nails, cooking pots arid jewellery.
If you like sailing, you can take a boat tour in Gros Morne Park into the glaciers or, if you are experienced, you can take a canoe on the South Nahanni river.
For tourists who like camping there are camp sites in the Gros Morne Park and in the Kluane National Park. I know that many of you come here to see wild animals. You can see wild goats, sheep, perhaps wolves and grizzly bears and buffalo in the Rocky Mountain park, Wood Buffalo park and Kluane and Nahanni parks. Bird watchers must visit Gros Morne, South Nahanni and Anthony Island.
If you like skiing, you can go skiing in the Kluane National Park and in the Rocky Mountains.
