Fort Wellington will see further preservation of the battlements using the innovative approach that was successfully proven through a first phase of renewal in 2020, the news release stated. The project will also complete the site’s wooden fortifications and undertake the replacement of the northeastern double palisade while ensuring the heritage character-value of the site remains intact.
“By ensuring the sustainability of Parks Canada administered places, we can support local economies, contribute to the growth of sustainable tourism, and strengthen their appeal as destinations to celebrate our country,” he said.
Fort Henry is owned and administered by Parks Canada and operated in a partnership with the Province of Ontario that enables the St. Lawrence Parks Commission to manage the fort.
