Events of National Historic Significance

Event designation by Canada's Minister of the Environment

The years of triumphs and tribulations of the Montreal Canadiens, seen here during the 1912–13 season, were designated the Club de hockey Canadien National Historic Event in 2008.

The Events of National Historic Significance, also called National Historic Events (French: Les événements d'importance historique nationale), are events that have been designated by Canada's government, on the advice of the national Historic Sites and Monuments Board to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change, as being defining actions, episodes, movements or experiences in Canadian history.[1] To be designated, an event must have occurred at least forty (40) years previous; events that continue into the more recent past are evaluated on the basis of what occurred at least 40 years ago.[2] As of June 2023, there are 500 National Historic Events that are already recorded.[3][4][5]

Related federal designations exist for National Historic Sites and National Historic Persons.[1] Events, Sites, and Persons are each typically marked by a federal plaque, but the markers do not indicate which designation a subject has been given. The Welland Canal is an Event, while the Rideau Canal is a Site. The cairn and plaque to John Macdonell does not refer to a National Historic Person, but is erected because his home, Glengarry House, is a National Historic Site.[6][7] Similarly, the plaque to John Guy officially marks not a Person, but an Event—the Landing of John Guy.[8]

Events have been designated in all ten provinces and three territories, as well as Belgium, China, France, Italy, the Netherlands, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

## List

As of August 2023[update], there are 501 National Historic Events recorded. The "Location" column identifies the place where an event happened or, in the case of widespread or non-specific locations, marks the place where a federal plaque to the event is located or is likely to be located, if known.

9. ^ The Directory of Federal Heritage Designations gives this Event the title "First Printing Press in North America", while the original plaque says it was first in "British North America". Neither appears to be true. The first press in North America was brought from Spain to Mexico City in either 1535 or 1539 (see A Publisher's History of American Magazines Archived 2016-06-27 at the Wayback Machine, Part Four: The Press in Colonial America, Peter Hutchinson, 2008, p. 20). This source then identifies the first press in British North America as being at Harvard College, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1639 (page 20), citing McMurtrie, p. 404. The current plaque says nothing about a first press. Its title is "The Halifax Gazette".
10. ^ The inscriptions on at least two historical markers call this "the last naval action on the Great Lakes" in the War of 1812 (see Capture of the "Ohio" and "Somers", a federal marker, and Capture of the "Somers" and "Ohio", a provincial marker). Yet two days later, HMS Nancy was attacked in an engagement that involved three US warships (Battle of Nottawasaga Bay). And on September 3 and 5, 1814, the Tigress and Scorpion were captured by the British, the latter vessel after "a sharp fight", in the later Engagements on Lake Huron.
