The Canadian Register of Historic Places is a pan-Canadian, publicly searchable database of over 13,500 historic sites recognized by federal, provincial, territorial, and municipal authorities. The federal government has stepped back from operating it, and it now faces imminent decommissioning,
E-petition e-7594, sponsored by MP Yasir Naqvi, calls on Ottawa to transfer stewardship of the Register to the National Trust for Canada and provide a one-time endowment to stabilize and modernize it. 1695 signatures are registered. If you’d like to help keep it alive, the petition is open for signature until August 26, 2026.
