About Artillery Park and our historic military park guide
Our purpose: clear reporting on a military heritage site
This website provides visitor information, historical context, and planning guidance for Artillery Park Canada, a military heritage site that interprets the role of artillery, fortifications, and garrison life in shaping Canadian communities. Our goal is to help visitors prepare for their experience by offering accurate, up-to-date details about hours, admission, tours, events, and location planning in a straightforward, news-style format.
We are committed to accuracy and transparency in all content. Information is compiled from official sources, reputable references, and publicly available documentation. We avoid speculation, unverifiable claims, and promotional language. When details such as operating hours or admission policies are subject to change, we direct visitors to confirm directly with the managing organization. For quick answers to common questions, see our Frequently asked questions page. To explore what Artillery Park offers and how to plan your visit, return to the Artillery Park tours and events overview.
This site does not replace official channels but serves as a supplementary resource for travelers, educators, and history enthusiasts seeking clear, objective information about a historic military park in Canada. We recognize that heritage sites operate within complex administrative and seasonal frameworks, and we strive to present that context without oversimplification.
Editorial standards and source policy
All content on this site is researched using authoritative, publicly accessible sources. We prioritize official government publications, recognized cultural institutions, and peer-reviewed or editorially supervised references. Our approach is modeled on journalistic standards: we cite sources, verify claims where possible, and update information as new data becomes available.
We rely on a range of source types to ensure comprehensive and reliable coverage. The following table outlines our source categories, examples, how we use them, and our update practices:
| Source type | Examples | How we use it | Update cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal agencies | Parks Canada, Government of Canada | Operating hours, admission policies, accessibility, official programming | Quarterly and before peak seasons |
| Cultural encyclopedias | The Canadian Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | Historical background, context, terminology verification | Annually or when major revisions occur |
| Academic publications | University presses, peer-reviewed journals | Military history context, fortification design, garrison life | As new scholarship is published |
| Local visitor bureaus | Tourism offices, municipal websites | Transit options, parking, nearby services | Seasonally and after infrastructure changes |
| News archives | CBC, The Globe and Mail, regional outlets | Event announcements, closures, restoration projects | Ongoing monitoring |
| Open data portals | Statistics Canada, provincial open data | Visitor statistics, demographic context | Annually when datasets refresh |
When we reference external sources, we provide links so visitors can verify information independently. We do not paraphrase official guidance in ways that might introduce error; instead, we summarize key points and direct readers to authoritative pages for full details. For historical and cultural context, we consult resources such as Wikipedia and other publicly maintained references, cross-checking facts across multiple sources where possible.
Our editorial process includes regular reviews of high-traffic pages, especially those covering time-sensitive information such as hours and admission. We also monitor official announcements and news coverage to identify changes that affect visitor planning. If we become aware of an error or outdated detail, we prioritize correction and note the update date in our internal records.
What we cover: tours, events, hours, admission, and location
This website focuses on practical visitor information and historical context for Artillery Park Canada. Our coverage includes guidance on planning a visit, understanding what to expect on-site, and accessing official resources for real-time updates. We also provide background on the military heritage significance of artillery parks and how they function as interpretive sites.
We recognize that certain details—such as daily operating hours, admission fees, tour schedules, and event calendars—are managed by the site's official operators and can change with little notice due to weather, staffing, maintenance, or special programming. For this reason, we emphasize the importance of confirming current information through official channels before traveling. Our role is to explain what types of information visitors should verify and where to find authoritative answers.
The following accordion outlines the scope of our coverage, our corrections process, and guidance for group and school visits:
Visitor information scope
We cover general visitor planning topics including typical hours of operation, common admission structures, tour formats, event types, accessibility considerations, location context, and travel planning tips. We do not provide real-time updates on daily conditions, ticket availability, or last-minute schedule changes. Visitors should always consult the official website or contact the site directly for the most current operational details.
Corrections
If you identify an error, outdated information, or unclear guidance on this site, please contact us using the method provided in the Contact section below. We review all correction requests and prioritize updates that affect visitor safety, accessibility, or trip planning. When we make a correction, we update the page promptly and log the change internally to improve our review processes.
Group and school planning
Many historic military sites offer specialized programming for school groups, tour operators, and organized visits. These programs may include curriculum-aligned content, extended tour options, or dedicated time slots. Because group visit policies vary and often require advance booking, we recommend contacting the site's education or group services coordinator well before your planned visit. Confirm group rates, minimum and maximum sizes, cancellation policies, and any required documentation.
Our coverage is designed to complement, not replace, official communications from Parks Canada and other managing organizations. We aim to provide context and planning frameworks that help visitors ask the right questions and use official resources effectively.

Our corrections policy: We treat accuracy as a core responsibility. When an error is identified, we investigate promptly, consult authoritative sources, and update the affected content.

This website is designed for a Canadian audience and for international visitors planning travel to Canada. Our geographic focus reflects the location of Artillery Park within Quebec, and our content assumes familiarity with Canadian governmental structures, cultural institutions, and travel norms. We use Canadian English spelling and conventions throughout.
We do not use tracking scripts, analytics software, or third-party advertising on this site. Visitors can browse without concern for data collection, cookies, or behavioral profiling. Our commitment to a JavaScript-free experience (except for structured data markup) ensures fast loading, broad accessibility, and compatibility with privacy-focused browsers and assistive technologies.
Our design philosophy prioritizes readability, semantic HTML, and progressive enhancement. We use Swiss-style typography principles to create clear visual hierarchies, and we test our pages with screen readers, keyboard navigation, and reduced-motion preferences.

By maintaining editorial independence, citing our sources, and avoiding commercial relationships, we aim to provide a trustworthy resource for anyone planning a visit to a historic military park in Canada. Our transparency extends to our limitations: we cannot guarantee real-time accuracy for operational details, and we encourage all visitors to verify critical information before traveling.
