Commemoration focuses on what is nationally significant about a site, and includes protection as well as presentation. The National Historic Sites Policy states that: S.S. Klondike National Historic Site, by its prominence within the protection and presentation are fundamental to commemoration since without protection City, plays an important there can be no historic site to be enjoyed, and without presentation there can be no role as an icon for the understanding of why the site is important to our history and, hence, to all Canadians.
