Grosse Île and the Irish Memorial National Historic Site
|
| Abstract |
Grosse Île, an island in the St. Lawrence River below Quebec City, was a quarantine station where thousands of Irish immigrants, escaping the Great Hunger famine of the late 1840s in their homeland, died and are buried. The island is now a national historic site managed by Parks Canada. The authors describe Parks Canada's place in the federal government, its organization, and the guidance it provides for the resources under its stewardship. The authors then focus on the identification and management of the values of Grosse Île, examining the specific values associated with the site, their place in management policies and strategies, and the impact that the actual management of the site is having on the values.
