The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada is the statutory body responsible for advising the Minister of Canadian Heritage and, through the minister, to the Government of Canada on the commemoration of nationally significant aspects of Canada's history.
The Board encourages public support and involvement to enhance Canadians' awareness of the patterns of the past that have shaped our nation. Almost 80 percent of the subjects considered by the board are proposed by the public.
You can help in the effort to expand public awareness of important themes by submitting persons, events, or sites for the consideration of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Submissions, along with requests for more information on the national historic sites program, can be sent to the following address:
