On January 12, 2001, the words "of Canada" were added to the names of national parks, national park reserves and national historic sites. The addition should be systematically used on cover pages, in titles, headings and at the beginning of documents. In the body of a text, it is appropriate stylistically to omit the words "of Canada." 2, record 1, English, - St%2E%20Andrews%20Cam%C3%A9r%C3%A9%20Curtain%20Bridge%20Dam%20National%20Historic%20Site%20of%20Canada

Depuis le 12 janvier 2001, il faut désigner les noms des parcs nationaux, des réserves de parc national et des lieux historiques avec les éléments «du Canada». Cette forme doit paraître sur la couverture, la page de titre et les pages initiales de présentation de documents.
