Commemoration is “a collective and public act of remembrance whose object is a historical figure or event and that constitutes a permanent demonstration or landmark.”
Alain Roy and Patrice Groulx (Groupe InVivo), "Pour une politique de la commémoration au Québec : bilans et pistes de discussion, Commission des biens culturels," Québec, April 1998, p. 17.
Permanent landmarks include geographic names, heritage names (recognized or classified cultural property), commemorative plaques and monuments, as well as historic sites and interpretive heritage sites. A purely descriptive commemoration is also an effective way to honour our intangible heritage such as the anniversaries of historical events and figures. Additional information
