A National Historic Site of Canada is a designation given to places that hold significant historical value in the country. These sites can include buildings, landscapes, or events that have contributed to Canada's cultural heritage. The designation helps preserve these locations for future generations and promotes public awareness of their importance. Managed by Parks Canada, these sites often offer educational programs and resources to help visitors understand their historical context. Examples of National Historic Sites include Fortress of Louisbourg, Rideau Canal, and the Canadian Museum of History. Each site tells a unique story about Canada's past and its diverse communities.
