The bioblitz was held in Jacquet River Gorge PNA 2009–2010,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nbm-mnb.ca/index.php/outside-the-walls/field-work/bioblitz-2009 |title=Bioblitz - Jacquet River |access-date=2017-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171116134441/http://www.nbm-mnb.ca/index.php/outside-the-walls/field-work/bioblitz-2009 |archive-date=2017-11-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Caldonia Gorge PNA in 2011–2012, Grand Lake PNA in 2013–2014, Nepisiguit PNA in 2015–2016, and Spednic Lake PNA in 2017–2018.

Inactive and historic BioBlitz
* The Canadian Biodiversity Institute held numerous BioBlitzes between 1997 and 2001.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.biodiversityonline.ca/BioBlitz/index.htm|title=Canadian Biodiversity Institute Online|access-date=2011-03-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706165916/http://www.biodiversityonline.ca/BioBlitz/index.htm|archive-date=2011-07-06|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* Victoria's Beacon Hill has had two BioBlitzes, in April 2007 and October 2007. They successfully gave thanks for the biodiversity of the region. Beacon Hill has since been a site for Arborblitzs, which focus on identifying all the trees within the park.
*[[Saint Mary's University (Halifax)]] held BioBlitz in [[Nova Scotia]] between 2008 and 2010 with the report on the 2010 BioBlitz available here.<ref>{{cite web|title=2010 BioBlitz Report|url=https://novascotia.ca/natr/wildlife/habfund/final10/NSHCF10_15_SMU-Bioblitz.pdf|publisher=Faculty of Science, St. Mary's University|accessdate=31 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150101195117/http://novascotia.ca/natr/wildlife/habfund/final10/NSHCF10_15_SMU-Bioblitz.pdf|archive-date=1 January 2015|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.smu.ca/bioblitz/past.html|title=Saint Mary's University BioBlitz - Past BioBlitz|accessdate=20 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307160504/http://www.smu.ca/bioblitz/past.html|archive-date=7 March 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref>
* The Warren Lake BioBlitz was scheduled for 11–13 August 2011. Warren Lake is on the east side of [[Cape Breton Highlands National Park]].
