Heritage Conservation

Heritage conservation has assumed a place in contemporary Canadian society because it addresses certain desires, notably for tangible connections to our historical roots and a "sense of place" for those who despair the "anyplace" character of many communities.

Heron

The heron (Ardeidae) family of birds comprises 60 species worldwide, 12 in Canada (including true herons, egrets, night herons and bitterns). Most herons are long-legged, long-necked wading birds which look for food (tiny fish, crustaceans, insects, amphibians and reptiles) in shallow fresh or salt water. They have long, rounded, rather broad wings and relatively short tails. They are distinguished from cranes by their position in flight, necks bent and heads supported between their shoulders. All have straight, rather long bills that distinguish them from ibises, which are similar in appearance but have long, curved bills.

Hiawatha Play

In 1900, the first performance of the Hiawatha Play was undertaken at Kensington Point in Desbarats, Ontario by members of Garden River First Nation. The play was developed by the Canadian Pacific Railway’s colonization agent Louis Olivier Armstrong and Anishinaabe leader George Kaboosa. The Hiawatha Play was performed seasonally in Desbarats from 1900 to 1905. It was relocated to Wayagamug, Michigan, where it was performed from 1905 to 1917 by Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and Odawa actors. It also toured, taking the performers to various locales in Canada, the United States, Great Britain and the Netherlands. Performances of the original play by Garden River actors occurred periodically in Sault Ste Marie and at Garden River until at least 1966. Contemporary interpretations of the Hiawatha Play were performed in 2006, 2007 and 2008 at Garden River.

Hibernia Rig Prepares to Drill

High Arctic Weather Stations

High Arctic Weather Stations, managed by the Monitoring and Science Division, Prairie and Northern Region of Environment Canada, began as the Joint Arctic Weather Stations. The plan for a network of Arctic weather bases was approved by the US on 12 February 1946, and on 28 January 1947 Cabinet formally agreed to participate. Between 1947 and 1950, five sites were selected and built jointly by Canada and the US (at Eureka, Isachsen, Mould Bay, Resolute and Alert) to provide the data required for the understanding and prediction of meteorological phenomena on a hemispheric scale and, more specifically, to improve weather predictions for North America. The meteorological data collected is also used by forecasting offices, airlines, northern shipping, climatology studies and research.
