2011

Celebrate Our Heritage
Heritage Day is an opportunity to celebrate the architectural heritage and historic places of Canada. The Heritage Canada Foundation promotes the third Monday in February each year as Heritage Day and has long advocated adopting this date as a national holiday.

For Heritage Day 2011, HCF encourages Canadians to celebrate Historic Parks and Landscapes.

Our parks, local and national, big and small, all play an important role in the lives of Canadians. Whether visiting national parks to explore places of great natural beauty, or meeting with friends in community parks to enjoy lush gardens, shade trees, historic statues and heritage structures, parks have been the focal point for healthy, recreational and cultural activities.

The 2011 Heritage Day theme coincides with Parks Canada celebrating 100 years as the world’s first parks service.
