Why Mountains Matter

Mountain systems provide essential benefits to Canadians from coast to coast to coast. These include fresh water, wildlife habitat, natural resources, energy, shelter, recreation, and spiritual connection. Mountains make up an array of different ecological systems connecting the land, and sustaining a diversity of life forms and the way of life and culture of the people who live there.
