List of National Historic Sites of Canada in Ontario


This is a list of National Historic Sites of Canada (French: Lieux historiques nationaux) in the province of Ontario. There are 269 sites designated in Ontario, 38 of which are administered by Parks Canada (identified below by the beaver icon Beaver 1 (PSF)(retouched)(transparent).png). Of all provinces and territories, Ontario has the greatest number of National Historic Sites, and the largest number under Parks Canada administration, with a dense concentration in southern Ontario. The five largest clusters are listed separately:

There are related federal designations for National Historic Events and National Historic Persons.

Events, Sites, and Persons are each typically marked by a federal plaque, but the markers do not indicate which designation a subject has been given. The Rideau Canal is a Site, while the Welland Canal is an Event. 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. Similarly, the plaque to John Guy officially marks not a Person, but an Event—the Landing of John Guy.

This list uses names designated by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, which may differ from other names for these sites.
