Abstract
The Canadian Parks Service (CPS) of Environment Canada is the leading federal agency responsible for identifying, protecting and commemorating nationally significant examples of Canada's cultural heritage. Among its activities are the operation of a system of national parks, national historic parks, a program of erecting historic plaques, and a national cost-sharing program with various agencies and organizations to acquire and preserve sites of outstanding national importance. These initiatives have resulted in the commemoration of persons, places, and events across the country that represent a variety of historical themes. National historic parks include the remains of a Viking settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Les Forges du Saint-Maurice in Quebec, the Hudson's Bay Company post at Lower Fort Garry in Manitoba, and the Klondike National Historic Sites in Dawson City, all recognized as major accomplishments in heritage preservation and interpretation in Canada.
