National Historic Sites of Canada

Canada’s national historic sites mark how our past has shaped Canadian society today. Each national historic site has played a significant role in Canadian history. Collectively, our national historic sites represent thousands of years of human activity across this land. From events that shaped Canada as a nation-state to achievements in science and technology, from traditional lifestyles of Aboriginal peoples to utopian settlements, Canada’s national historic sites celebrate the rich experiences that have framed our past and which will guide our future.
