CANADA'S 18 WORLD
HERITAGE SITES
In 1972, the United Nations Educational,
Scientifi c and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
established, and continues to update, a published list
of cultural and natural heritage properties around the
world considered to be of outstanding universal
value to humanity. The goal is to encourage the
preservation of the identifi ed properties both at a
local and international level.
Entry and service fees are charged at most
national parks and national historic sites, where the
revenues are kept to support visitor services and
facilities. This means that every time you visit a park
or site you are investing in its future—and in a legacy
for future generations. For Canada's 150
th
throughout
2017, admission will be free for all Canadian national
parks, national historic sites, national marine
conservation areas operated by Parks Canada and
lockage at Parks Canada historic canals and water-
ways.
