Historic Places Days

July 11th-20th, 2025

Historic Places Days offer a chance to explore and showcase the places and stories that are important to us. The set of days is celebrated all over Canada and is hosted as a National Trust for Canada by a collection of events. In 2025, we invited you to celebrate the theme, “Every Place, A Story.”

Stay tuned for our 2026 events!
