Whether Canada’s fortifications were built for trading fur or defending the country, they have played a central role in the geographical, political and economic development of Canada.
Among the highlights of the weekend event will be a coast to coast 100-gun salute, which will ripple across the country simultaneously Sunday afternoon.
