The largest class of landowners in Canada are the provincial governments, who hold all unclaimed land in their jurisdiction in the name of the Crown (Crown Lands). Over 90% of the sprawling boreal forest of Canada is provincial Crown land.[1] Provincial lands account for 60% of the area of the province of Alberta,[2] 94% of the land in British Columbia,[3] 95% of Newfoundland and Labrador,[4] and 48% of New Brunswick.[5]
