  • 2005 Rideau Canal World Heritage Site Management Plan
    2005 Foreword The Rideau Canal bears witness to 19th century engineering excellence, most notably through its ingenious adaptive design and brilliant execution. As well as being a technological feat, it provides an eloquent illustration of the defence measures taken by the British Empire in Canada in the early 1800s, which resulted in the transformation of Canada’s eastern Ontario hinterland into a transportation route whose integrity has, to this day, been maintained at an exceptionally high level. This linear serial nomination incorporates six elements that together will become the Rideau Canal World Heritage Site. These are: the Rideau Canal National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Henry National Historic Site of Canada, Fort Frederick, Cathcart Tower, Shoal Tower and Murney Tower (the Kingston Fortifications National Historic Site of Canada). This management plan specifies how the world heritage values of the nominated property will be protected for present and future generations. It constitutes the formal commitment of the Parks Canada Agency, the responsible Canadian management organization, to the conservation and protection of the property. It identifies the world heritage values that will be protected, the legislative and policy framework for management of the property, the elements of the management system in place to protect the property, and mechanisms for monitoring and periodic reporting. As a high-level, overarching management plan, this document unites the specific operational plans for the six elements by identifying and elaborating management commitments and actions that will result in an integrated approach to administering the world heritage site. I am very grateful to our dedicated team from Parks Canada, the World Heritage Site steering committee and to all of the local organizations and individuals who have demonstrated good will, hard work, spirit of cooperation and extraordinary sense of stewardship.

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.

  • Fort Henry National Historic Site's Top Twenty Facts
    FORT HENRY NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE'S TOP TWENTY FACTS 1: THE REASON THE FORT IS CALLED FORT HENRY IS... The peninsula on which Fort Henry is built is called Point Henry, named after Henry Hamilton, 1st Lieutenant Governor of Quebec, 1782-85. 2: THE FORT WE WORK IN TODAY IS NOT THE ORIGINAL FORT BECAUSE... The Fort today is the 2nd Fort Henry. The 1st was originally built in 1813. It was dismantled when the 2nd fort was built from 1832-37. 3: THE ENEMY THE FORT WAS TO DEFEND AGAINST WAS... Throughout most of the 1800's, the United States. 4: THE PURPOSE OF FORT HENRY WAS... To defend the terminus of the Rideau Canal and the Royal Naval Dockyards. Please refer to the Fort Henry Commemorative Integrity Statement (CIS), for more information. 5: WHY FORT HENRY NEEDED RESTORATION IN THE 1930's ... The Fort was taken out of service in 1891, after which it fell into disrepair. It was rebuilt from 1936-38 and on August 1st, 1938, Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King opened the Fort as a museum and historic site. 6: TODAY THE FORT IS... A living museum- our interpretive staff portrays life in the year of 1867 for the soldiers and their families who were in garrison here. (In garrison means they were stationed at the Fort.) As well, we offer our visitors shopping and dining, host special events and we keep our site clean and well preserved. 7: THE FORT WAS USED AS A PRISONER OF WAR CAMP/INTERNMENT CAMP IN... the 1837 Rebellions, during World War I, 1914-18, and during World War II, 1939-45.
