Improve park infrastructure to ensure its long-term preservation and maintain landscapes in good condition | Satisfactory general condition, quality facilities and integrity of landscape | Maintain general condition and improve parts of infrastructure between now and 2013 |
Through this activity, the NBC preserves the integrity of Battlefields Park for future generations by maintaining and improving its infrastructure and horticultural landscaping and offering a safe site for Canadians, foreign users and visitors.
To achieve the expected results, the NBC plans to:
Continue with maintenance and surveillance of the buildings, furniture and grounds, keeping the site safe for users and visitors;
Carry out infrastructure repairs complementary to those made in 2007; specifically: roads, walkways, sewers, replacement of fences and stabilization of the cliff;
Develop and implement a "green trend" encompassing all activities so that Battlefields Park is developed in full accordance with sustainable development concepts and respect for the environment;
Renovate the Commander's House (if ceded by the Department of National Defence) to meet office space needs.
These activities will enable Canadians to enjoy a park that is well maintained and accessible at all times for the holding
of events, and in a safe and pleasant setting in which to have fun, appreciate nature and the beauty of the landscape, or
practice a sport or recreational activity.

Promote the history of Canada's first national historic park and its cultural, recreational and natural assets | The quality level of public and educational services | Maintain the quality of services and provide more historical information, marking the events of 1760 in 2010-2011 |
The purpose of this activity is to showcase the history of the site and its cultural, recreational and natural treasures so as to emphasize its dual role as a an historical and an urban park. In support of this activity, the NBC welcomes visitors, presents exhibits and educational activities, and provides high-quality public services.
To achieve the expected results, the NBC plans to:
This program activity permits Canadians to increase their knowledge of this key episode in the history of our country and of the Americas. It will also inform them about the assets and heritage value of the Plains of Abraham site. The activities and events organized will also contribute to the dynamism of the region and the vitality of this rallying site in the heart of Quebec City, while adding tourism appeal.
The NBC will encourage Canadians to participate by offering interpretive activities and holding Plaines lunes, in itself a very popular event because it provides an opportunity for the public to play a role and enjoy a special adventure.
The school programs provide enriching experiences for students, who deepen their understanding of Canadian culture as they study various facets of society and history.
These efforts are in line with the Government of Canada's strategic outcome for a vibrant Canadian culture and heritage.
