Parks Canada Closes Historic Places Website

A digital archive of Canada’s history, the Canadian Register of Historic Places website, will be deactivated this spring due to technological obsolescence and security issues, alarming heritage advocates, especially in Nova Scotia. Launched in 2004, the site features around 13,500 listings and serves as a vital resource for various professionals and researchers. Efforts are underway in Nova Scotia to preserve its records, as no alternative heritage database exists. The National Trust for Canada has urged for continued public access to Canada’s historic places information.
