Historic Places InitiativeNotice The Historic Places Initiative is now administered by the Parks Canada Agency which, since December 12, 2003, is part of the Environment Canada portfolio. For information regarding the Historic Places Initiative, please visit the Parks Canada Web site. OverviewThree years ago, the Department of Canadian Heritage and Parks Canada began a wide-ranging series of consultations on the best means to preserve and celebrate Canada's historic places. There has been a tremendous sense of cooperation and good will from the provinces and territories, municipalities, an Aboriginal Advisory Committee, Members of Parliament, other elected officials, heritage experts and volunteers, archaeologists, planners, government departments, Agencies, Crown Corporations, and a cross-section of other thoughtful and committed Canadians. This process has taken time because it is important to be fully inclusive, open to all good ideas and focussed on undertaking the most significant and long-term heritage conservation action ever in Canada. Out of the consultations has arisen a broad-based strategy - the Historic Places Initiative - which is the most important federal heritage conservation proposal in Canada's history. There is consensus on where Canadians will be when the Historic Places Initiative is fully implemented:
