Lake Superior Day takes place on the third Sunday in July and is a time for people all around the lake to take part in activities that celebrate the natural, historical, cultural and economic importance of the lake, and to highlight the importance of conserving and protecting the marine area. Parks Canada manages national marine conservation areas to ensure their ecological sustainability and to provide opportunities for appreciation and enjoyment of our marine heritage. Lake Superior National Marine Conservation Area, at more than 10,000 square kilometres, is the largest freshwater marine protected area in the world. Its boundaries extend from Thunder Cape at the tip of the Sleeping Giant Provincial Park in the west, to Bottle Point just east of Terrace Bay, and south to the Canada-U.S. boundary.
