' Built by the French, at a cost of ten million dollars during the reign of Louis XV, the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island passed back and forth be- tween French and British hands, underwent two sieges and finally was blown up by British demoli- tion troops in 1760. Developments in the 18th cen- tury which, in the long run, resulted in Canada eventually becoming one country, have con- nections with Louisbourg. The federal government, therefore, through the Department of North- ern Affairs and National Re- sources, is restoring a large part of the fortress, now a national historic park. At the Centennial Commission we think of the restoration as a Centennial project although per- haps we can't argue it is such on the basis of technicalities because it was started in 1961 and will continue until the early 1970's, at a cost over the years of at least $12,000,000. The old city and a large part of the battle ground outside the ruined walls were set aside by the government as a national historic site in 1928. During 1935-36 a museum was built facing the site of the citadel and it contains mementoes presented by citizens and relics which have been un- earthed in the ruins of the fort- ress. The site was made a national historic park in 1940 and thous- ands of visitors see it every year. The new project for restoration of the fortress will reconstruct the main features of fortifications, the Château St-Louis, a represent- ative selection of smaller build- ings, homes and harbor works. Some outlying features such as siege works also are to be re- stored. As well as Canada, the New England states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maine have strong historical connections with Louisbourg. Four thousand New Englanders were involved in the first siege and conquest of the fortress in 1744. (Britain handed Louisbourg back to the French in a 1748 treaty but again conducted a siege and conquered it in 1758. British demolition troops blew up the fortifications in 1760.) Louisbourg was a key factor in North American defence and trade for almost half a century. The study of that era can be a fascinating pastime for laymen and the restoration of the old fortress and buildings will give us new insight into the history of our country and an understanding of life in those times. For pro- fessional historians and archae- ologists the activities on Cape Breton island provide more and more information. The Louisbourg project is just one of the many which, during Centennial Year, will draw the attention of Canadians, and of friends abroad, to our interesting heritage. Total revenue of all governments in Canada amounted to $759 per capita in 1964. G. B.
