Signed Parks Canada

Located in the heart of Montréal, the Lachine Canal National Historic Site welcomes millions of visitors each year: athletes, local residents, and the curious alike. Yet many users are unaware that this site is managed and protected by Parks Canada!

The Signed Parks Canada initiative aims to clearly assert Parks Canada’s presence and identity in the heart of the metropolis, strengthen the emotional connection between the public and one of its most iconic heritage sites, and clarify Parks Canada’s mandate to protect, conserve, and enhance this exceptional place for future generations.

The Signed Parks Canada campaign seeks to remind people that the Lachine Canal is not merely a passageway or a green space. It is a unique place where history, nature, recreation, and innovation converge, a true living showcase of Parks Canada’s mandate.

By deploying this campaign to a broad urban audience, Parks Canada intends to elevate its brand and reaffirm that the Lachine Canal, thanks to its designation as a national historic site, remains a unifying, identity-defining, and essential space in today’s Montréal.
