From the Minister
The Honourable Pascale St-Onge, M.P., Minister of Canadian Heritage
The organizations in the Canadian Heritage portfolio work in a variety of sectors to help the government build a better society. In the coming year, they will draw on their expertise and creativity to advance key priorities in inclusion, diversity, equity and accessibility, reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and greening to achieve our sustainable development goals.
As guardian of a historic urban park with a unique heritage, the National Battlefields Commission (NBC) will continue its efforts to make it a welcoming, inspiring and inclusive space. The NBC will carry out work to ensure the conservation of its land and assets, such as the renovation of its museum roof. In spring 2024, the new exhibition "1775 The American Invasion" will be presented at the Plains of Abraham Museum. It will be a wonderful addition to the NBC's overall programming, activities and services.
As Minister of Canadian Heritage, I am pleased to present the Departmental Plan 2024–25 prepared by National Battlefields Commission. It outlines how this organization plans to fulfil its mandate and help move Canadian society forward.

Plans to achieve results
The NBC intends to carry out various projects to maintain its assets, notably by repairing its greenhouses and the roof of the Plains of Abraham Museum, restoring the Braves monument, maintaining its plaques and monuments, and repairing and maintaining its old cannons. To this last end, the NBC will develop a concrete maintenance plan for its cannons and monuments. These projects are in addition to regular maintenance on the park and all the actions carried out on a daily basis to ensure the conservation of property, green spaces, trees, etc.
The NBC intends to continue implementing its Accessibility Plan.
In addition, the NBC will be carrying out a number of development projects. Examples include landscaping work on avenue De Bernières, owned by the NBC, the development of a pathway to enhance user access to the Plains of Abraham Museum, including the installation of a third digital terminal, and development work in the Cap-aux-Diamants sector.
Likewise, the NBC is working with the Réseau de transport de la Capitale to install permanent electric-assist bicycle stations at various locations in the Battlefields Park to encourage active transportation to the park.
In collaboration with the City of Quebec, the NBC will provide users with new winter access to Parc des Braves by building a pedestrian trail and clearing snow from the staircase linking the park to côte de la Pente douce. The NBC has acquired new equipment for grooming its cross-country ski trails on the Plains of Abraham, bringing the ski season forward for the benefit of users. Signage on cross-country ski trails and slides is constantly being improved. In partnership with Quebec City since 2013, the Plains of Abraham Ice Rink is being developed, and a new chalet will be available to skaters from December 2023.
All these projects will contribute to the satisfaction of park users.
The NBC will contribute to users' sense of security in the park through the presence of its security service on its territory and the various forms of patrol that will be provided.
Key risks
The NBC continually faces the risk of deterioration in the condition of its heritage assets in the Battlefields Park territory. The park's high level of visitor numbers is matched by a constant risk to the safety of park users.
Snapshot of planned resources in 2024–25
- Planned spending: $14,180,000
- Planned full-time resources: 22 planned full-time equivalents
Related government priorities
Gender-based analysis plus
To the greatest extent possible, the NBC ensures the repair and restoration of real estate and heritage assets according to a universal concept, in order to meet the needs of all individuals, regardless of age, size or physical ability.
United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
In order to contribute to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 12, the NBC plans to continue encouraging the purchase of hybrid or electric vehicles, and to adopt better environmental practices and standards. Among the measures envisaged are the reuse of fleet resources and the diversion of natural residues to a composting site. In addition, to help achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 13, the NBC will work together to update its Sustainable Development Policy.

The financial, human resources and performance information for the National Battlefields Commission’s program inventory is available on GC InfoBase.
Plans to achieve results
The museum services offered by the Plains of Abraham Museum include historical mediation to create links, highlight the history of the Battlefields Park and provide cultural and educational outreach. The NBC will continue to offer its animation activities for regional visitors, tourists and school groups.
The Plains of Abraham Museum will once again offer access to its important historical and archaeological content related to the NBC territory, through its varied offer of exhibitions, educational, entertaining and rallying activities. These include the Battlefields activity, featuring historical re-enactments.
As of spring 2024, the NBC will be presenting a brand new exhibition, ‘’1775 The American Invasion’’, which will highlight the history of this crucial period in our history. In addition, the NBC will renew its offer with a complete update of the ‘’’Attention!’’ exhibition, presented on a digital tablet at Martello Tower 1.
Similarly, the Marketing & Development department will be implementing the final phase of the NBC's brand image deployment. Also planned is the launch of the digital marketing tool for online management of reservations, customer and donor databases, and the development of online archives and archive collections. This department will ensure the ongoing training of its staff in social media and digital platforms. The NBC also intends to complete the integration of its corporate content on the canada.ca website. Various initiatives are also planned to improve and update signage on the territory.
Finally, the NBC will be offering new activities to enhance its winter offering. The NBC will produce and deploy the campaign for its museum's new exhibition ‘’1775 The American Invasion’’.
Key risks
The NBC faces climatic, social and economic risks, as well as the risk associated with the resurgence of an unfavorable health situation. The impact of all these risks can directly affect tourist numbers and the number of visitors to the NBC's territory. The labour shortage context that the NBC is facing poses additional challenges in terms of its ability to deliver its services effectively.
Snapshot of planned resources in 2024–25
- Planned spending: $3,200,000
- Planned full-time resources: 19 planned full-time equivalents
Related government priorities
Gender-based analysis plus
The NBC will take a series of measures to enable a diversity of visitors to have access to its historical, heritage and cultural content and will contribute to increasing diversity for this program by presenting an inclusive cultural and historical offer, through various initiatives, on this subject, refer to the ACS plus table.
United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN Sustainable Development Goals
In relation to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 10, the NBC is actively involved in the reconciliation process and wishes to continue raising awareness and informing its teams, visitors and partners about the place of aboriginal communities. One of the corresponding measures that the NBC will continue to implement is the inclusion of Aboriginal artists in its cultural programming at the Edwin-Bélanger Bandstand. Similarly, the NBC wishes to continue integrating an Aboriginal component into its museum activities. In order to contribute to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12, the NBC intends to continue incorporating eco-design into the development of new exhibitions and mediation activities. To this end, the NBC will standardize its practices.

- Develop the human capital and bring the talents to the fore;
- Affirm our unique positioning and improve customer experiences;
- Improve and diversify significantly our financial capacity;
- Engage actively in a process of reconciliation;
- Make sustainable development central to our actions.
In terms of human resources management, the NBC will continue to apply its referral program. Discussions on the collective agreement will also be maintained. In addition, efforts will be made to optimize various processes, notably those related to the integration of new employees, as well as employee access to certain data and, finally, an upgrade of performance appraisals.
In keeping with the NBC's commitment to the local community, the plan is to make media purchases that are mainly digital and of local origin. In addition, the NBC will set up a food offer in the park for its users, providing an additional source of revenue. The NBC also wishes to create new partnerships and ensure the loyalty of its existing ones.
The NBC's Finance Department intends to improve its Procurement Management Framework. It will continue to support programs such as the implementation of operations management software for site and asset maintenance. The Finance Department will continue to develop its Long-Term Asset Maintenance Plan and will seek funding to achieve the objectives. In addition, in 2024-2025, the NBC will undertake a complete review of its integrated risk management in order to draw up a comprehensive list of risks and identify appropriate mitigation measures. A tool for monitoring the main risks will then be used to support decision-making.
Snapshot of planned resources in 2024-25
- Planned spending: $6,490,000, including $2,800,000 for payments in lieu of taxes (PILT)

Funding
The following graph presents planned spending (voted and statutory expenditures) over time.
Explanation of figure 2
NBC expenditures fluctuate according to the funding obtained. For the years 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, authorizations have been obtained to ensure program integrity, including asset maintenance requirements. For 2025-2026 and subsequent years, known authorizations are returning to a level that will not support the NBC's mission.

Information on the National Battlefields Commission’s organizational appropriations is available in the 2024–25 Main Estimates.
Future-oriented condensed statement of operations
The future-oriented condensed statement of operations provides an overview of the National Battlefields Commission’s operations for 2023–24 to 2024–25.
The forecast and planned amounts in this statement of operations were prepared on an accrual basis. The forecast and planned amounts presented in other sections of the Departmental Plan were prepared on an expenditure basis. Amounts may therefore differ.
A more detailed future-oriented statement of operations and associated notes, including a reconciliation of the net cost of operations with the requested authorities, are available on the National Battlefields Commission’s website.

*The NBC has had a trust fund since 1984 for receiving donations from individuals, municipal corporations, and provincial and other governments. The fund is managed according to the provisions of section 9.1 of the An Act respecting the National Battlefields at Quebec.
Explanation of table 6
The variance of $4,221,208 between forecast expenses for 2024-2025 and forecast expenses for 2023-2024 is explained mainly by the increase in Conservation expenses for asset maintenance.
The NBC forecasts its future revenues based on historical experience prior to the pandemic situation, taking into account a degree of uncertainty related to traffic and the increase in its service charges.
