In an unexplored part of the country, where the only mode of progress was the frail Indian canoe, with a department to be organized, workmen to be instructed and many difficulties to overcome, he constructed a truly remarkable work.

They are a central part of who we are and what we are. They are places of beauty and wonder and heritage. Each tells its own story.

We see a future in which each of the national historic sites of Canada, whether federally owned or not, enjoys sound commemorative health, and in which our system of sites evolves as our country evolves.
