Canada just announced to the World Heritage Committee the expansion of Nahanni National Park. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper first announced Canada’s intent to make this expansion in August of 2007.  The expansion was formalized by parliament earlier this month.  CBC reported that the enlarged park will be slightly smaller than Vancouver Island, making Nahanni the third-largest national park in Canada.

Perhaps one day a similar announcement can be made about the world’s first international peace park, Waterton-Glacier.
