| | The Opening Ceremonies Of Prince Albert National Park By Mackenzie King |
 | | On March 26, 1927, an Order in Council was passed providing for the provisional reservation of more than thirteen hundred square miles of territory, covering approximately thirty townships, as Prince Albert National Park. |
 | | In opening today the Prince Albert National Park, may we not only dedicate it to the glory of the Creator whose bounty it mirrors in forest, lake and stream, but also to the highest good of the Canadian people for all time to come. |
 | | In 1885, when construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway revealed the magnificent scenery of the Canadian Rockies, both parties in the Dominion Parliament united in setting aside the Banff National Park, Canada's first public possession of its kind, an action which was followed soon after by the creation of other reservations of equal beauty. |
