The National Parks Project is a Canadian music and film project. Released in 2011 to mark the 100th anniversary of the creation of the National Parks of Canada system, the project sent teams consisting of three Canadian musicians and a filmmaker to 13 Canadian national parks, one in each province or territory, to shoot and score a short documentary film about the park. The project was commissioned by Parks Canada and produced by FilmCAN and Primitive Entertainment, in association with Discovery World HD. Prior to its commissioning, a test film by Ryan Noth, Joel McConvey and Geoff Morrison entitled National Parks Project: Gros Morne was released in 2009; although it was not included in the finished series, Noth, McConvey and Morrison were producers of the series. In addition to airing on Discovery World and on the web, the series was also screened at a number of film festivals, including Toronto's Hot Docs. Music from the project was released on several EPs, as well as on a compilation album that featured some of the most popular tracks. ()
