WATERTON-GLACIER INTERNATIONAL PEACE PARK


The 'Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park' is the name of the union of the 'Glacier National Park' in the United States and the 'Waterton Lakes National Park' in Canada. Both parks are declared Biosphere Reserves by UNESCO and their union as a World Heritage Site.
The union of the parks was achieved through the efforts of Rotary International members from Alberta and Montana in 1932. It was the world's first International Peace Park, symbolising peace and friendship between the two countries. Efforts are also under way for a USA-Mexico International Park[1]
