Abstract
By the 1980s, Parks Canada had established preservation offices across the country with attention given to the gold rush story in Dawson City, Yukon Territory, and defensive fortifications in Halifax and Quebec City. By the 1990s, a broader range of themes was being explored within the federal context by Parks Canada, with attention now being given to national historic sites such as Parliament Hill. At present, Canada is unique among economically industrialised nations for having neither comprehensive legislation on built heritage nor a legal framework for protecting historic sites. In 2003, the Standards and guidelines were published under the leadership and guidance of Parks Canada. In 2017, the Canadian federal government convened a standing committee to look at the future of Canada’s heritage and heard from a wide range of experts in the field.
