Parks Canada: British Columbia's Pacific Rim National Park

Canada Dept: A deal between Parks Canada and Google Maps is allowing the global Internet giant to take its special cameras to natural and historic wonders from L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland to British Columbia's Pacific Rim National Park, according to Montreal Gazette. "If people are dreaming about going there, this gives them a way to explore before they go." Some of Canada's most beloved national parks and historic sites are going online in hopes that allowing people to hike the woods on their computer screens will encourage them to do it in real life. "It's a way that we see we can step into the psyche of a lot of Canadians and really be able to show these great, iconic places that belong to all of us in a new way," Andrew Campbell, vice-president of visitor experience for Parks Canada, said Wednesday.
