Whn I look at Ontario, there are a lot of items listed that are not in [ [1]] why? -- Brat32 15:15, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
The main Parks Canada site only lists NHSs administered by Parks Canada. See this list for the others: Parks Canada -- TheMightyQuill 18:06, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
don't forget that parks canada only takes care of 155. and the "heritage places and exhibits" thing is a parks thing, not a "national historic site" thing. all of this information is unclear in many articles
Historic Sites, Heritage places and exhibits administered by Parks Canada
This article is clear enough about which sites are listed in the article. All historic sites, or just those run by Parks Canada? At where is the Carlton Trail, aka Winnipeg Trail, aka Edmonton Trail. I found two references for it online but it's not on the list.
Anyway, I'm going to add it, and I'm going to create a new heading for it, since it exists in three provinces. Kevlar67 05:13, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
The Saint George Antiochian Church currently links to a church in the MA, USA. Is this right?

The title should be List of National Historic Sites in Canada, as "National Historic Site" is a title/proper name, not a generic usage. Skookum1 ( talk) 15:29, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
I just went through the available links and placed Category:National Historic Sites of Canada and Category:Heritage sites in British Columbia (NB if that 's' on "sites" were capitalized I would have been more selective...); on all but Fort Victoria, which at present is just a Victoria redirect (but needs to be a separate article; this applies to the targeted article in all cases, e.g. the Powell River one goes to the Powell River town article as there's no separate article for the town centre; likewise at other locations it's a feature of the linked place/item that's the historic site (e.g. it's not the whole of Silverdale that's the NHCS, but the location on the tracks where the robbery took place). Tanu is the other one where the categories werne't placed as I've got to rewrite that, or rather that's really "New Tanu" (New Clew) and the original Tanu was eleshwere and it is the NHSC, so I'll fix that. Anyone making one of the redlinks in future please be sure to add the BC heritage category also; the best maybe that can be doen with Harling Point is make the geography article on Harling Point and then see what there is for the cemetery that's citable/article material; could be just the one article; also re BC heritage sites there's lots more than are on this list; theoretically could include municipal-designated heritage too, as it's not British Columbia heritage sites, but heritage sites in British Columbia (not of, as in provincially-mandated). List of heritage sites in British Columbia may already exist, I don't know; should probably be a table where citations of who designated its heritage status can be shown/sorted. Skookum1 ( talk) 06:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
I dropped by World Heritage Site and, lo, "it" isn't one, "it" being Lonesome Lake in or near Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park, which is the site where Ralph Edwards based his conservation work/studies on the trumpeter swan. I thought it was a UN World Heritage Site, maybe there's another classification? I remember it being a big deal with the place got burned out in one of the epic forest fires in the Interior a few years ago. Anyone here remember the story/ I posted a question at the WHS talkpage and also on Talk:Leland Stowe, who authored Crusoe of Lonesome Lake; if not right now, I'll start the Lonesome Lake article but it's an otherwise obscure lake out of tens of thousands in BC; presumably it's still a trumpeter-conservation area, despite the fires. I don't remember all that went on because of the fire, adn I never read the book, or that written by his wife Frances Ruffles On My Longjohns, which is a classic of "bush whife" literature. Not an NHSC or, it appears, a WHS, unelss maybe the latter was cancelled after the cabin was burned out? Skookum1 ( talk) 03:13, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
Some time ago, I added the Parks Canada logo to identify each NHS administered by the agency. It took quite a while, but I notice they've been removed--all 155 (or so) of them. I didn't see an explanation, so I'd appreciate reading one. The logos readily identify which NHS's are within the national park system. Yoho2001 ( talk) 11:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
I opened a discussion section at Wikipedia talk:Canadian Wikipedians' notice board#Canadian historic sites task force about creating a WikiProject task force on Canadian historic sites. doncram ( talk) 18:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

An IP user has been adding infoboxes to lots of NHSC articles and re those in BC I've been busy removing flag icons from them (see WP:FLAGCRUFT), as well as correcting the "province" field from Alberta to BC, as apparently a blanket copy-paste was being used and the IP user wasn't too particular about making sure the content in the boxes was actually correct. No some, I took a start at seeing "Parks Canada" in the governing body/jurisdiction field, but "let it go" e.g. re Gold Harbour, British Columbia as it does happen to be within Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve though to my knowledge neither Parks Canada nor the Haida Nation, the governing bodies of that park, have done very much with it (I think it is, not sure - can't find a map showing its location relative to the park)....but on the McLean Mill and Royal Theatre the field still said "Parks Canada" and I'm unsure about that; the Royal Theatre SFAIK is under the jurisdiction of the City of Victoria, I'm not sure about the mill; Yuquot definitely is not under Parks Canada jurisdiction. Unless the mandating legislation provides for protection of the site and/or any monument/facility... Fort Steele, British Columbia I think is under a private contractor mandated via the BC government as is, I know for sure, Barkerville. Can someone clarify this please? i.e. does Parks Canada have any jurisdiction over sites that aren't directly under its control? Or should these sites, e.g. Royal Theatre (Victoria) NOT say "Parks Canada" in the governing body field. NB I only have time to work on the BC articles, could someone else would strip these infoboxes of their flags (and wrong provinces) for the rest of the country; they look really garish and when you think about it somewhere that was created/built under the red ensign or HBC flag or VI flag or Union Jack, or (as with Kitwanga Fort and Yuquot) existed long before the maple leaf flag, or any flag, are just not appropriate. Skookum1 ( talk) 13:01, 25 March 2010 (UTC)
The link for the Metropolitan Theatre in Winnipeg points to a listing for a theatre in Boston. I don't know how to properly fix this myself. 216.36.132.66 ( talk) 20:10, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I have started converting the list to table format - I've done Alberta (first alphabetically) and France (shortest), and I am about to embark on Ontario (the jurisdiction with which I am most familiar). Since tables contain more content and are longer, separate lists are needed for each province/territory -- a pan-Canadian list in table form would be exceedingly long (unless we use collapsing tables for each jurisdiction, which just seems gimmicky to me). Any thoughts on the tables done thus far? -- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 23:52, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
I updated the list for British Columbia today using the database at http://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/lhn-nhs/index_e.asp. Apart from 3 new entries and 2 that were merged (Gitwangak National Historic Site), there were 3 wrong entries that I removed: Riverview Hospital (I believe it is in the process of becoming a NHS, but not yet approved), St. Stephen’s Anglican Church (obviously a confusion with the one in Quebec), and my favorite one: Silverdale, site of Canada's first train robbery :-) If this was a joke entry, it is somewhat concerning that it could stay for so long in the list (since 12 June 2008). It even made it into German Wikipedia, the initial version of the list there was simply translated from the English one. -- Zeitlupe ( talk) 19:04, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was move per request except that I am moving it to the plural because it is just does not work in the singular. Unlike some articles where singular or plural is just a style issue, this title would imply it is the name of a singular site by that name, and so would be ambiguous and possibly imply something incorrect that is a problem the plural does not suffer from. There are also huge numbers of examples where a phrase like this are not couched as singular, e.g., List of national libraries, List of national governments, Gallery of country coats of arms and so on.-- Fuhghettaboutit ( talk) 09:51, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
List of National Historic Sites of Canada → National Historic Site of Canada — As discussed at Talk:List of National Historic Sites of Canada#Conversion to table, the list has been broken down into separate lists for each province and territory in order to allow for the conversion of the lists to tables.

I've changed the reference to Fort Howe, from a "national historic park" to a national park. While the site was referred to as both a "national historic park" and a "Historical Park", in 1914 Parliament directed that it be designated Fort Howe National Park. The same was true for Fort Anne, a national park created in 1917. "National Historic Park" and "National Historic Site" designations would come later (the year the "National Historic Park" name was first applied requires research), but in the years they were created, and for some time afterward, they were national parks. Yoho2001 ( talk) 10:07, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
I actually do believe the word "historic" was intended, as I think you are making an assumption when you suggest that the reference to park was merely to the contemporary legal entity created in the 1910s. Your theory is equally valid. Either one of us could be correct. However, absent any explicit source that discusses the historic v. historical issue, we should reflect what the contemporary sources say it was. This is a very interesting issue.
The references you added to the Amercan battlefields were fantastic. But (and I am sounding like some harpy here - I am sorry) we need a source. You did provide a source as to the American designations, but we need something that says the Canadians were influenced by the American exercise with their battlefields. That might be in Taylor. I can't imagine we couldn't find a source for this.-- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 17:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
“…it was not until 1939 that…a number of historic sites and national parks [were classified] as national historic parks.” (p. 122) “Consequently, in 1940 an order-in-council was passed bestowing national historic park status on the Fortress of Louisbourg, Port Royal Habitation, Fort Anne, Fort Beausejour, Fort Lennox, Fort Chambly, Fort Wellington, Fort Malden, and Prince of Wales’s Fort.” (pp. 122-23) “…Southwold Earthworks, languished in the cold.” (p. 123)
As for the other stuff, I don't mean to frustrate you and certainly didn't revert everything, and certainly would never remove anything without an edit summary or a comment here. The point is to source information before it is added. Once it is added, the sources never come. Ever. That's not a slight against you. That's how it happens all the time. And then information is tagged as missing a source, and then the tags linger forever. And we don't actually know it is accurate until we have a reliable source. The point is to avoid WP:OR. And like I said above, I am so sorry to be so annoying, but so many editors are so less careful than you are, and unsourced material inevitably begets more unsourced material, which is usually more dubious in nature, and those editors typically insist on leaving it in with everything else that is waiting to be refined and sourced. The text still exists, and can easily be re-added. I think it is a great addition, but we can't just assume that the designation of civil war battlefields by Americans inspired actions in Canada. I strongly suspect it was an influence, and I am very intrigued with the suggestion (it had never occurred to me) and I have no doubt that we can find a source. I will help. It's the weekend coming up, so perhaps we might find something sooner than later.-- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 20:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
I found this oder in council about Fort Howe but actually if I remember the 1930 law, the official form was more “Dominion Park” that “National Park”. I found someting about the inspiration, the Quebec Loi sur le patrimoine culturel site, said that Quebec and Canada was inspired by the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest and Natural Beauty of England and the Monument historique of France. -- Fralambert ( talk) 03:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
As for the photos, I have been meaning for a few days now to tell you that they are fantastic. It looks like you drove across Ontario taking them. They are a wonderful addition to the project. Images like these, especially when they are useful like yours, are routinely moved to Commons, either by other editors or bots. Wikimedia Commons exists to host this type of file, and people like Fralambert deserve kudos for the hours and hours they put in transfering locally-uploaded images to Commons and adding descriptions in other languages. The whole point of contributing to Wikipedia is that your freely-licensed work will be used by others, and I see that your images are already being used on other Wikipedia projects. I haven't reviewed them all, but it appears that you are still identified as the author in all these images. I don't see any instances where an English description has been deleted in favour of a French one, but if that did occur I am sure that it was inadvertent. Commons is a multilingual project, and photos are often accompanied by descriptions in multiple languages. Just like Wikipedia, contributors at the Commons add and improve photo descriptions, all in an effort to improve the contents. Fralambert is listed as the uploader, but not the author - they are two very different things. Fralambert did not actually add his name to the descriptions -- the Wikimedia software, as well as the tools that facilitate the transfer of images, simply record the name of the transferor so that there is a full record of the image's upload history. Hope that helps. -- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 13:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
For those interested, a number of sites appear to have possibly been delisted/undesignated as NHSCs recently. While there have been a number of former NHSCs over the years, it is usually due to the historic buildings or structures suffering demolition or fire. In this case, a number of sites simply appear to have been delisted. For those interested, the discussion is User talk:Skeezix1000#New NHSs. We will be getting in touch with Parks Canada or the HSMBC to try and get confirmation/clarification/further information. -- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 17:25, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
I just noticed wikipedia has no list of National Historic Sites that are actually administered by Parks Canada. Is that worthy of its own list, or should those sites simply be flagged/highlighted somehow in the provincial lists? - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 19:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Some of the provinces have subheadings showing how many sites some of its cities have, and I think that we should add Halifax since it has 35. RoshanMcG ( talk) 04:44, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

There's no doubt the Historic Sites and Monuments Board deserves a section in this article, but probably also an article in its own right. There, a fuller discussion of its history and development could be expanded upon, as well as a list of its chairs. It would be an ideal place for the list that CWGroat recently contributed, as well as a list of past and current members, if desired, those ministers it advised, and maybe significant designations that chart expanding ideas of what the board has deemed nationally important.

I actually do believe the word "historic" was intended, as I think you are making an assumption when you suggest that the reference to park was merely to the contemporary legal entity created in the 1910s. Your theory is equally valid. Either one of us could be correct. However, absent any explicit source that discusses the historic v. historical issue, we should reflect what the contemporary sources say it was. This is a very interesting issue.
The references you added to the Amercan battlefields were fantastic. But (and I am sounding like some harpy here - I am sorry) we need a source. You did provide a source as to the American designations, but we need something that says the Canadians were influenced by the American exercise with their battlefields. That might be in Taylor. I can't imagine we couldn't find a source for this.-- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 17:42, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
“…it was not until 1939 that…a number of historic sites and national parks [were classified] as national historic parks.” (p. 122) “Consequently, in 1940 an order-in-council was passed bestowing national historic park status on the Fortress of Louisbourg, Port Royal Habitation, Fort Anne, Fort Beausejour, Fort Lennox, Fort Chambly, Fort Wellington, Fort Malden, and Prince of Wales’s Fort.” (pp. 122-23) “…Southwold Earthworks, languished in the cold.” (p. 123)
As for the other stuff, I don't mean to frustrate you and certainly didn't revert everything, and certainly would never remove anything without an edit summary or a comment here. The point is to source information before it is added. Once it is added, the sources never come. Ever. That's not a slight against you. That's how it happens all the time. And then information is tagged as missing a source, and then the tags linger forever. And we don't actually know it is accurate until we have a reliable source. The point is to avoid WP:OR. And like I said above, I am so sorry to be so annoying, but so many editors are so less careful than you are, and unsourced material inevitably begets more unsourced material, which is usually more dubious in nature, and those editors typically insist on leaving it in with everything else that is waiting to be refined and sourced. The text still exists, and can easily be re-added. I think it is a great addition, but we can't just assume that the designation of civil war battlefields by Americans inspired actions in Canada. I strongly suspect it was an influence, and I am very intrigued with the suggestion (it had never occurred to me) and I have no doubt that we can find a source. I will help. It's the weekend coming up, so perhaps we might find something sooner than later.-- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 20:48, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
I found this oder in council about Fort Howe but actually if I remember the 1930 law, the official form was more “Dominion Park” that “National Park”. I found someting about the inspiration, the Quebec Loi sur le patrimoine culturel site, said that Quebec and Canada was inspired by the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest and Natural Beauty of England and the Monument historique of France. -- Fralambert ( talk) 03:26, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
As for the photos, I have been meaning for a few days now to tell you that they are fantastic. It looks like you drove across Ontario taking them. They are a wonderful addition to the project. Images like these, especially when they are useful like yours, are routinely moved to Commons, either by other editors or bots. Wikimedia Commons exists to host this type of file, and people like Fralambert deserve kudos for the hours and hours they put in transfering locally-uploaded images to Commons and adding descriptions in other languages. The whole point of contributing to Wikipedia is that your freely-licensed work will be used by others, and I see that your images are already being used on other Wikipedia projects. I haven't reviewed them all, but it appears that you are still identified as the author in all these images. I don't see any instances where an English description has been deleted in favour of a French one, but if that did occur I am sure that it was inadvertent. Commons is a multilingual project, and photos are often accompanied by descriptions in multiple languages. Just like Wikipedia, contributors at the Commons add and improve photo descriptions, all in an effort to improve the contents. Fralambert is listed as the uploader, but not the author - they are two very different things. Fralambert did not actually add his name to the descriptions -- the Wikimedia software, as well as the tools that facilitate the transfer of images, simply record the name of the transferor so that there is a full record of the image's upload history. Hope that helps. -- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 13:50, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
For those interested, a number of sites appear to have possibly been delisted/undesignated as NHSCs recently. While there have been a number of former NHSCs over the years, it is usually due to the historic buildings or structures suffering demolition or fire. In this case, a number of sites simply appear to have been delisted. For those interested, the discussion is User talk:Skeezix1000#New NHSs. We will be getting in touch with Parks Canada or the HSMBC to try and get confirmation/clarification/further information. -- Skeezix1000 ( talk) 17:25, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
I just noticed wikipedia has no list of National Historic Sites that are actually administered by Parks Canada. Is that worthy of its own list, or should those sites simply be flagged/highlighted somehow in the provincial lists? - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 19:22, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
Some of the provinces have subheadings showing how many sites some of its cities have, and I think that we should add Halifax since it has 35. RoshanMcG ( talk) 04:44, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

There's no doubt the Historic Sites and Monuments Board deserves a section in this article, but probably also an article in its own right. There, a fuller discussion of its history and development could be expanded upon, as well as a list of its chairs. It would be an ideal place for the list that CWGroat recently contributed, as well as a list of past and current members, if desired, those ministers it advised, and maybe significant designations that chart expanding ideas of what the board has deemed nationally important.
