A Crown corporation of the Government of Canada, the National Capital Commission(NCC) was created in 1959 as the steward of federal lands and buildings in the National Capital Region. Its job, simply put, is to plan, develop and use these properties as a source of pride and unity for Canadians. The boulevards and monuments in Canada's Capital, the Parks and heritage buildings, the national festivals--these are just some of the results of over a century of ongoing strategic effort by the NCC and its predecessors. 4, record 1, English, - National%20Capital%20Commission

La Commission de la capitale nationale (CCN) est une société d'État du gouvernement canadien, qui a été créée en 1959 pour protéger les propriétés et les terrains fédéraux de la région de la capitale nationale. Elle doit aussi réaliser la planification urbaine et l'aménagement de la capitale et utiliser les propriétés fédérales de sorte qu'elles soient une source de fierté pour les Canadiens et qu'elles consolident leur appartenance à la collectivité canadienne. Ainsi, la CCN et les organismes qui l'ont précédée ont travaillé fort et de façon stratégique au cours du dernier siècle pour construire des boulevards et ériger des monuments dans la capitale du Canada, pour aménager des parcs et protéger les bâtiments patrimoniaux et aussi pour offrir des programmes d'envergure nationale. 7, record 1, French, - Commission%20de%20la%20capitale%20nationale
