The management plan for Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site was recently tabled in Parliament. Reviewed every 10 years, management plans are a legislative requirement of the Canada National Parks Act and guide the management of Parks Canada places.
National historic sites reflect the rich and varied heritage of our nation.
The new plan for Lower Fort Garry outlines the following key objectives:
· Collaboration and expanded presentation of First Nation and Métis culture on site;
· A renewed visitor experience is offered at Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site;
· The condition of assets and cultural resources is maintained or improved.
The plan was developed through public consultation and based on input from local residents and organizations, visitors, stakeholders, partners, and Indigenous communities in southern Manitoba. Through this management plan, Parks Canada is meeting its promise to protect and present Canada's cultural heritage while also providing an opportunity for Canadians to experience and discover our diverse history in new and exciting ways.
