December 21, 2018 Châteauguay, Quebec Parks Canada Agency

The management plan for the Battle of the Châteauguay National Historic Site was tabled in Parliament recently. 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 the Battle of the Châteauguay National Historic Site outlines the following key objectives:

·Be a vibrant site where everyone can discover and commemorate the significance of the Battle of the Châteauguay

·Create a visitor experience centred on the battlefield

The plan was developed through public consultation and based on input from local residents and organizations, visitors, stakeholders, partners and Indigenous communities of the Châteauguay region. 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.
