The Moshkovits Family Embarks on an Epic Adventure to Explore Canada’s National Parks
While most families opt for water parks and roller coasters for their summer vacations, the Moshkovits family from Toronto has chosen a more unconventional route – exploring Parks Canada’s list of national and historical sites. Packed up in their camper, the Moshkovits have been on a quest to visit nearly 70 sites over the past several seasons, immersing themselves in the rich history and natural beauty of Canada.
Currently in Gros Morne National Park on Newfoundland’s west coast, 11-year-old Roee Moshkovits and his 13-year-old sister Ashira are on a mission to collect as many dog tags or tokens as possible, each representing a different park they’ve visited. “You collect them and add them to a chain or whatever you would like,” Roee explained, proudly displaying a colorful necklace of tags from their past adventures.
Participating in Parks Canada’s program designed to engage children in learning about the country’s heritage, Roee and Ashira have turned their collectibles into cherished mementos. Ashira, whose favorite spot so far has been Rocky Mountain National Park, described the awe-inspiring feeling of standing at the top of the mountains.
As the Moshkovits continue their journey through Gros Morne National Park, they have plans to explore other national sites in Newfoundland, such as L’ance Aux Meadows, Cape Spear, and Signal Hill. With a thirst for knowledge and a passion for discovery, this family’s summer holiday is not just a vacation but a transformative learning experience.
