Torngat Mountains National Park
Rugged, remote, and awe-inspiring, Torngat Mountains National Park is a place like no other. An Inuit homeland since time immemorial, its name comes from the Inuktitut word Tongait, meaning “place of spirits.”
The story of the establishment of this national park is one of working with Inuit as equal partners. Their special historical and cultural relationship with the land is recognized and honoured by Parks Canada, and Inuit knowledge is incorporated in all aspects of the co-operative management of this park.
Located on the northern tip of the Labrador Peninsula, the national park’s remoteness has long kept its 9,700 square kilometres of untamed wilderness hidden from the rest of the world. Visitors who do make the trek here are welcomed by the tallest peaks east of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and wildlife viewing opportunities of roaming polar bears and migrating caribou.
Now that you’ve discovered what makes this national park so special, take a seat and take in the view captured on each of our Canada’s National Parks coins.
The iconic red chairs found across locations administered by Parks Canada adorn each coin with a spectacular view in the background. Add the entire series to your collection and you’ll receive a special subscription box that allows you to display them together. Order yours today!
