Great! There already some in the map, though it seems that many
provincial parks are tagged as national parks.

There were some imported from NRCan data, which we're allowed to use,
either under an older agreement, or under the OGL-CA licence, which has
been cleared for use.
Here's some information on the import layer:
NRCan Protected Areas - OpenStreetMap Wiki

Some of the maps are put together by non-government agencies, and they
can be quite protective of the data that they add.
cheers,
