Speaking ai a speciai show- ing liei-e ofl two t'iiîîs on his. toric sites, Peter H. Bennett of Ottawa contrasted presenit public concern with past necg- Iect. "Wilte we are victimis of history, history is ofteîî vic- tiînized by us. Muîclî of* oui heritage lias beeîî destroyed itn the rush for- developotient. Iti the past. Canada's historic resources have been tbu of'ten abtîsed by public indifference anîd lack utf attention," lie said. Mr. Bennett noted, how- ever, tîa t Caiiad ians arme now discovering tlîeir history and sliowiiig conicermn aI preserv- itîg their hieritage. "Public interest anîd suîp- port l'or historic presel-va tion lias neyer been higlier.

Restoration work on the fortress of' Louisbourg is the niost aîîîbitious military- civil reconstruction ever unî- dertaken in North Arnîrica. It represents the first major change ini approach iin the policy of historic parks mani- agemient-fromn one of care- taker to tlîat of conservator and interpreter, bascd 0on solid docunentary, archacological and architecturai research. The Canadian lnventory of Historic Building, begun by the National Historic Sites branch îin 970 'as a I 0-year prograni tt) record I100,000 historic buildinîgs across Cana- da,' is the first conîprehiensive archiitectural iventory ini the world creatcd for a computer- ized information systern.

M embers of the service's utîdei-water archiaeology unit, formied ~îin 964, lhave acted as consultants aItîunderwater sites in the Gulf of Mexico, off Cyprus and in the sub- Arctic waters of Hudson Bay. The archiaeological section has developed its own trainiing programn for field assistants, recruiting st udents [romn Ca- na,,dian ti iniversities rather than hiring froîn abroad. Mr. Benînett said a laek of university courses in restora- lion architecture or pres erva- ion teclinology in Canada had mnade it necessary to ac- quire such knowledge on the job, but in spite of this the service had built up coîîsider- able expertise and prestige. He appealed for public sup- port for Heritage Canada, an indepen dent non-profit organ- ization shortly bo be incor- porated by the federal govern- ment with an initial $12-mil- lion endowment with the ob- ject of providing a national focal point for historic, archi- tectural and scenic property DOWNTOWN HAS EVERYTHING Goitinedfronn Page 1 tioi1 on a first naine basis.
