Introduction
The local community is a classroom ready to be explored. Through this
local history project, you will have the opportunity to explore the
history of your community, identify key places, and select a site for
possible designation. Public requests are an important part of the process
by which make designations. Canadians can make submissions to the Historic
Sites and Monuments Board of Canada for the designation of a place,
person, or event that has had a nationally significant impact on, or
that illustrates a nationally important aspect of, the history of Canada.
As well, significant contributions to local or provincial history are
recognized by municipal and provincial/territorial governments through
various commemorative programs.
