Cave and Basin has been a special place for Indigenous peoples since time immemorial and continues to be so to this day. In 1883, three railway workers stumbled upon the thermal springs, sparking a series of events that led to the creation of Canada’s first national park. Today, the site is a gathering place for sharing stories about conservation and the connection between people and the land in Parks Canada administered places.
