A Big Birthday for an Old War

The War of 1812 is rounding it's 200th anniversary, and the Harper government wants to raise awareness to Canadians over the next 4 years about our defining moment in history.

Charlotte County MP John Williamson says Canada as we know it, would not be here, if it weren't for the heroic efforts of many Canadians.

The Harper government has invested $20.8 million dollars into historic sites, like the St. Andrews Blockhouse, to boost tourism and strengthen the economy.
