Abstract
Since Canada has signed the UNESCO Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of 1972, it has had some eighteen cultural and natural sites selected for the World Heritage List that represent internationally significant nature reserves and natural wonders, significant Canadian architectural history, important sites representing Canadian aboriginal culture and geological treasures of world-wide importance. These internationally significant sites have put Canada on the world stage in both the heritage conservation field and in the national and international tourism sector. What Canada has decided to inscribe on this list has had a major impact at the local, regional, national and international arenas. The author of this paper reflects on some of the ancillary guiding charters and conventions since the World Heritage Convention was implemented that have led to where we are today in the field of heritage conservation in Canada. He goes on to predict some areas where heritage conservation will be going in Canada in the near future. He argues that Canada could likewise have its rich intangible culture play a similarly significant role if the Canadian government signed the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage of 2003. Last, he discusses some of the recent developments in eastern Canada in intangible cultural heritage, conservation and the sustaining of traditions.
Résumé
Depuis que le Canada a signé la Convention concernant la protection du patrimoine mondial, culturel et naturel de l’UNESCO en 1972, dix-huit sites d’intérêt culturel et naturel du pays ont été sélectionnés pour être inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial, ces sites représentant des réserves et des merveilles naturelles importantes, des éléments architecturaux significatifs pour l’histoire canadienne, des sites représentant la culture autochtone canadienne et des trésors archéologiques de renommée mondiale. Ces sites d’envergure internationale ont conféré au Canada une visibilité sur la scène mondiale, à la fois dans le domaine de la conservation du patrimoine et dans le domaine du tourisme national et international. Les éléments que le Canada a décidé d’inscrire sur cette liste ont eu un impact majeur au niveau local, régional, national et international. L’auteur de cet article discute de quelques-unes des chartes et conventions secondaires qui ont imposé des directives depuis la mise en oeuvre de la Convention sur le patrimoine mondial qui nous ont amenés là où nous en sommes aujourd’hui dans le domaine de la sauvegarde du patrimoine au Canada. Il émet quelques prédictions au sujet des directions que prendra la sauvegarde du patrimoine dans le pays dans un avenir proche, et il avance que le Canada pourrait de la même façon voir sa riche culture immatérielle jouer un rôle de premier plan si le gouvernement canadien signait la Convention de l’UNESCO pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine culturel immatériel de 2003. En dernier lieu, il expose quelques-uns des développements récents en matière de patrimoine culturel immatériel, de conservation et de maintien des traditions dans l’Est du Canada.
