The Battlefields Park Management

The National Battlefields Commission is responsible for managing Battlefields Park (the Plains of Abraham), Parc des Braves and the Pierre-Dugua-de-Mons Terrace.

Preserving and showcasing this exceptional historic urban site is at the heart of the NBC’s mission. The Commission is also committed to raising public awareness of the important role this iconic site has played in the history of both Canada and Québec City. As the setting of many significant events, the site holds a central place in the country’s history.

Each year, the National Battlefields Commission receives numerous requests from organizations wishing to hold a variety of activities on the site. The Commission therefore strives to maintain a balance between hosting events and preserving the site’s public, accessible and peaceful character. 

In this end, priority is given to activities that are open to the general public rather than those reserved for private groups.
