  • Dawson Historical Complex National Historic Site Commemorative Integrity Statement
    Dawson CIS, September 3, 1997 1 Dawson Historical Complex National Historic Site Commemorative Integrity Statement National Historic Site Objectives National Historic Sites objectives are summarized in Parks Canada’s Guiding Principles and Operational Policies; * To foster knowledge and appreciation of Canada’s past through a program of historical commemoration. * To ensure the commemorative integrity of national historic sites administered by Parks Canada by protecting and presenting them for the benefit, education, and enjoyment of this and future generations, in a manner that respects the significant and irreplaceable legacy represented by these places and their associated resources. * To encourage and support the protection and presentation by others of places of national historic significance that are not administered by Parks Canada. Commemoration focuses on what is nationally significant about a site, and includes protection as well as presentation. The National Historic Sites Policy states that; protection and presentation are fundamental to commemoration since without protection there can be no historic site to be enjoyed, and without presentation there can be no under- standing of why the site is important to our history and, hence, to all Canadians. Dawson in the aftermath of spring breakup in 1925. The gold rush period streetscape, surrounding hills and Moosehide Slide are all prominent in this image. PC, Townsend Coll. 2 Dawson CIS, September 3, 1997 Definition and Purpose of Commemorative Integrity Commemorative integrity is used to describe the health or wholeness of a national historic site. A national historic site possesses commemorative integrity when the historic values and those cultural resources symbolizing or representing its importance are not impaired or under threat, when the reasons for the site’s national historic significance are effectively communicated to the public, and when the site’s heritage values are respected by all whose decisions or actions affect the site.
