The new Historic Places Program, part of the national Historic Places Initiative, is designed to document and commemorate the NWT's historic places and cultural landscapes. Commemorated places in the NWT will be brought to national and international attention by listing them on a national Historic Places registry.
Please visit the new Canadian Register of Historic Places where you can learn about historic sites in the NWT and throughout Canada.
