- The Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada forwards its recommendations for national designation to the Minister of Canadian Heritage.
- To date, more than 1,700 sites, people or events that were significant in Canadian history have been commemorated.
- National Historic Sites are usually commemorated by plaques or markers. Though, commemoration can include acquisition by the federal government or a cost-sharing agreement.
