Persons of National Historic Significance, (National Historic Persons), are Canadians identified by the Government of Canada for their important role in Canadian history.[1] Designations are made by the Minister of the Environment on the recommendation of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. Approximately 70 nominations are submitted to the board each year. A person is eligible to be listed 25 years after death, except Prime Ministers who may be designated any time after death.[2] Parks Canada administers the program, and installs and maintains the federal plaques commonly erected to commemorate each person, usually placed at a site closely associated with them.
Canada has related programs for the designation of National Historic Sites of Canada and Events of National Historic Significance.[3]
