National Parks are maintained for all the people  for the ill that they may be restored; for the well that they may be fortified andinspired by the sunshine, the fresh air, the beauty, and all the other healing, ennobling agencies of Nature. They exist in order thatevery citizen of Canada may satisfy his craving for Nature and Natures Beauty; that he may absorb the poise and restfulness of theforests; that he may fill his soul with the brilliance of the wild flowers and the sublimity of the mountain peaks; that he may developthe buoyancy, the joy, and the activity that he sees in the wild animals; that he may stock his brain and mind with great thoughts,noble ideals; that he be made better, be healthier, and happier.

Commissioner of National Parks, 1911 - 1936
