Operating Context

Established in 1908, the National Battlefields Commission (NBC) is responsible for the preservation, conservation and enhancement of Battlefields Park.

In effect since 2022, the NBC's strategic plan is being implemented according to the following five pillars:

1. Develop the human capital and bring the talents to the fore;
2. Affirm our unique positioning and improve customer experiences;
3. Improve and diversify significantly our financial capacity;
4. Engage actively in a process of reconciliation;
5. Make sustainable development central to our actions.

The NBC continues to implement its Accessibility Plan to improve accessibility and to make its territory a "[...] welcoming, inspiring and inclusive space" and to improve customer experiences (pillar 2).

The NBC is also continuing to follow its Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy.

In 2025-2026, the NBC will benefit from the deferred funding, enabling it to fulfill its responsibilities as guardian of heritage assets.

To maintain the NBC's assets, two major repairs are planned: replacement of the museum roof and refurbishment of the greenhouse.

In addition, a new digital management tool for the NBC's archives and collections will be introduced to facilitate consultation and distribution.

Finally, while respecting the balance between the historic site and urban park vocations that make up the uniqueness of its territory, the NBC continues to host a number of events on the Plains of Abraham, which are in great demand as a host site.
