We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

This view from Signal Hill in St. John's was a beautiful way to start a fun tour through Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Photo by guide Cory Gregory. Summer in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia: seafood, puffins, gorgeous vistas, breeding warblers, and, of course, lots of gannets… this tour had it all! Chris and I were happy to share the above perks with a fun bunch of birders for another successful tour of a few of Canada’s finest Atlantic provinces. We met in St. John’s under a gray sky, but thankfully the weather cleared out and we remained extremely lucky in terms of weather. Our first day of birding took us to some urban spots like Kenny’s Pond where we enjoyed crippling views of a male Tufted Duck trying to blend in with the Mallards (by taking a snooze, apparently). We continued out to Blackhead and Cape Spear where we chanced into a singing Gray-cheeked Thrush, enjoyed some views of whales offshore, found some Pine Grosbeaks high in a spruce, and saw our first gannets flying by offshore. The boat trip out of Bay Bulls gave us our first taste of seabirds and folks had great looks at the quintessential Atlantic Puffins, Razorbills, and even a Thick-billed Murre trying to pretend it was a Common Murre. The following morning proved to be gorgeous and we enjoyed an early vista atop Signal Hill in St.

Couillard Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse Station from the St. Lawrence River Parks Canada / J. Audet Aerial view of the Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse Station and old pilot boat wharf Parks Canada / J. Audet Foreword Canada’s national historic sites, national parks and national marine conservation areas offer Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast unique opportunities to experience and understand our wonderful country. They are places of learning, recreation and fun where Canadians can connect with our past and appreciate the natural, cultural and social forces that shaped Canada. From our smallest national park to our most visited national historic site to our largest national marine conservation area, each of these places offers Canadians and visitors unique opportunities to experience Canada. These places of beauty, wonder and learning are valued by Canadians - they are part of our past, our present and our future. Our goal is to ensure that each of these special places is conserved. We see a future in which these special places will continue to contribute in meaningful ways to Canadians’ appreciation, understanding and enjoyment of Canada, to the economic well-being of communities, and to the vitality of our society. Our vision is to build a culture of heritage conservation in Canada by offering Canadians exceptional opportunities to experience our natural and cultural heritage, opportunities that celebrate our protected heritage. These values form the foundation of the new management plan for Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse National Historic Site of Canada.
