There are currently thousands of locations administered by Parks Canada that are not actually identified by location on the Parks Canada site.

 

The "Designations of National Historic Significance" would be a great way to add a record of where these important locations are.

 

To Parks Canada, these are a subset of the "National Historic Sites"... but often just a plaque is provided.

 

This would fit in well with the Catagory of Historical Markers.

Try that for?????

 

It does pop in new pictures, but there still is no record of Geo-data location.

 

What I'm proposing is similar to the Historic Markers like PA, OH, GA and CA (California) have.

 

There is already a proposal for the Ontario Historic Markers too....

 

Here is an example of the limited data currently available

 

Directory of Designations of National Historic Significance of Canada

 

Ridgeway Battlefield National Historic Site of Canada

Ridgeway, Ontario

 

Date Designated: 1921

Plaque status: Plaqued in 1929

 

Site of battle against Fenian raiders, 1866

 

That's it.. no location, no picture... nothing.... I know it says it's in Ridgeway.... but if this was Toronto instead of Ridgeway... that would be hard to locate. Actually, this marker is 3 kilometers outside of Ridgeway... still hard to find unless you're a local.

Closing as I have lumped this in with my other proposal
