Canada's Historic Sites

This collection spans Canada’s vast geography, from the 18th-century bastion forts of Hudson Bay to the Gothic Revival architecture of Ottawa’s Parliament Hill. It features significant engineering feats like the world's largest multiple-arch buttress dam and the Star Mine Suspension Bridge. Maritime history is preserved through the lighthouses of Brockton Point and the remains of the ill-fated Franklin Expedition ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Investigator. These sites represent pivotal moments in Canadian governance, trade, and exploration.
