Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site Management Plan 2023

Coming soon... the draft Management Plan for the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site will be posted in winter 2023.

Public engagement

Parks Canada will continue to seek public input to create a new Management Plan for the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. The Let’s Talk! Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site survey was a nation-wide consultation process and we will be consulting again on the draft plan in Winter 2023. We will once again invite partners, stakeholders and the public to provide input on the draft management plan for the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site. There is also a formal consultation process underway with the Mi’kmaq of Nova Scotia.

What did Parks Canada consult on?

The last management plan for the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site was developed in 2011 (see below). Input gathered during the first phase of public engagement helped shape an overall vision and defined the guiding approach, objectives, and targets that informed the draft management plan. This draft will be available for review in winter 2023.
