Persons of National Historic Significance. Persons of National Historic Significance (National Historic Persons) are people designated by the Canadian government as being nationally significant in the history of the country. Approximately 7. 0 nominations are submitted to the board each year. A person is eligible to be listed 2.
Prime Ministers may be designated any time after death. The intent is generally to honour the person's contribution to the country but is always to educate the public about that person. Canada has related programs for the designation of National Historic Sites and National Historic Events. 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.
