National Historic Site
This is a complete list of the National Historic Sites of Canada. All such designations are made by the federal Minister of the Environment on the advice of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. As of March 2008, there are 935 sites, 158 of which are administered by Parks Canada as part of the national park system, designated, below, with this symbol . Some National Historic Sites are found within National Parks. Nationwide, many of the sites are privately owned, and some of these are open to the public. Two of the 935 sites are located in France, found at the end of this list. Additionally, this list uses official names as listed by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board, not necessarily the colloquial name. Wherever possible, official names listed here are linked to pages with the colloquial name.
The Historic Sites and Monuments Board also nominates National Historic Persons and National Historic Events. These are not listed here (see External Links for the full list). Most all of the National Historic Sites, Persons, and Events are marked by a federal plaque which is usually installed and maintained by staff at the nearest Parks Canada–operated National Historic Site. Since 1919, these plaques have been erected nation-wide, on cairns built for that purpose (in the early years), attached to buildings, or on free-standing posts. These maroon markers are typically in English and French, though some are trilingual, adding another language appropriate to the subject being commemorated. They always include Canada's coat of arms. More elaborate plaques have been cast for national historic districts or a group of buildings.
