Across Canad<\/strong>a, there are many parks protected, preserved and maintained by Parks Canada. These are called \u201cnational parks\u201d. There are also many parks that are protected, preserved and maintained by individual provinces. These are called \u201cprovincial parks\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Except in Quebec.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since Quebec is officially recognized as a distinct nation, the parks under the Quebec government\u2019s purview are also called \u201cnational parks\u201d and are cared for by an organization called S\u00e9paq<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which stands for Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 des \u00e9tablissements de plein air du Qu\u00e9bec<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does Quebec have provincial parks? Yes and no. Again, since Quebec recognizes itself as a distinct nation, it uses the term \u201cnational park\u201d for those parks that fall within its borders and purview. These are maintained and operated in much the same way a provincial park in say, Ontario or Nova Scotia would be, but you won\u2019t find the term \u201cprovincial park\u201d. They are always referred to as \u201cnational parks\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><\/div><div  class='hr av-227gpvb-9921962b6b4cbb8591bf0045193e3be1 hr-default  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_one_full  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\r\n\r\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jse1az6g-29ae82afa16fc057a39533da39f36340 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><b>How many national parks are there in Quebec?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are currently 3 Parks Canada operated parks within Quebec and 24 maintained by S\u00e9paq.
