Heritage Sector Submission on Federal Bill C-23 – Historic Places of Canada Act
National Trust for Canada
This submission provides feedback from the heritage sector on Federal Bill C-23: An Act respecting places, persons and events of national historic significance or national interest, archaeological resources, and cultural and natural heritage. In 2017, the Standing Committee on Environment and Climate Change released Report 10: Preserving Canada’s Heritage: The Foundation for Tomorrow, which, among its 17 recommendations, states, “The federal government must set an example by adopting legislation to provide better statutory protection for federal heritage buildings and national historic sites under its stewardship.”Bill C-23 harmonizes the current patchwork of legislation affecting federal heritage properties and the designation of places of national significance. It discusses conflicting requirements and clarifies the Government of Canada’s role. It creates a Public Register that gives the public access to information on “designations”, “condition” and “planned action” for federal historic places.Bill C-23 responds to the TRC Calls to Action 79(i) and (ii) by adding Indigenous representation on the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada; by requiring the Board to consider the best available information including Indigenous and community knowledge in its recommendations to the Minister; and by providing an Indigenous-led process for including places in the Public Register.It enshrines in legislation the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada and the World Heritage Convention.
The National Trust for Canada highlights a number of areas where Federal Bill C-23 should be strengthened to better protect Canada’s treasured historic places in a sustainable way for the benefit of generations to come. Read more HERE.National Trust for Canada is inviting support for this submission outlining amendments to strengthen Bill C-23 – federal heritage places legislation HERE.

| As an organization of provincial scope, the Ontario Museum Association recognizes that its members and community live and work on the lands and territories of Indigenous peoples. Toronto, where the OMA offices are located, is the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit, Haudenosaunee and the Huron Wendat. We wish to express our gratitude for the resources we are using and pay respect to the rich and ongoing Indigenous history of what is now Ontario and Canada. |
