**Brother and Sister Duo on a Mission to Collect Memories Across Canada’s National Parks**
Roee and Ashira Moshkovits aren’t your typical thrill-seeking summer vacationers. Skipping the water parks and roller coasters, this adventurous duo from Toronto has set their sights on exploring the wonders of Parks Canada’s national and historical sites. Packed up in their camper, the Moshkovits family has embarked on a quest to visit nearly 70 sites over the past few summers, and this year is no different.
Currently stationed at Gros Morne National Park on Newfoundland’s west coast, 11-year-old Roee and his 13-year-old sister Ashira are on a relentless pursuit to add to their collection of collectible dog tags or tokens. “You collect them and add them to a chain or whatever you would like,” explains Roee, proudly displaying a colorful necklace adorned with tags from different parks like Waterton and Jasper.
Part of Parks Canada’s enticing program, these tokens serve as trophies for children who explore specific sites, complete tasks, and fill out booklets. For Roee and Ashira, these necklaces have morphed into cherished keepsakes that not only symbolize their travel adventures but also educate them about Canada’s rich history and culture.
Reflecting on her favorite spot, Rocky Mountain National Park, Ashira describes the awe-inspiring feeling of standing atop the mountains and gazing at the breathtaking views. “It’s just amazing,” she beams, capturing the essence of their remarkable journey.
With their parents by their side, the Moshkovits siblings plan to immerse themselves in the beauty of Gros Morne National Park before venturing out to explore other national treasures in the province, including L’ance Aux Meadows, Cape Spear, and Signal Hill.
As they continue to build their collection of memories, one dog tag at a time, Roee and Ashira embody a sense of exploration, curiosity, and appreciation for the diverse landscapes and histories that Canada has to offer.
Who needs water slides and roller coasters when you have a world of discovery waiting to be explored right in your backyard?
