"Today, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister Responsible for Parks Canada, announced the designation of the Dominion Observatory Complex as a national historic site of Canada under Parks Canada's National Program of Historical Commemoration."
A statement by Minister Guilbeault: "For 65 years, the Dominion Observatory Complex was an important centre of research collaboration in the fields of astronomy, geophysics, seismology and gravitational studies. The precision of its master clock was also instrumental in setting official time standards across the country. Today's designation as a national historic site allows us to share important stories about our cultural heritage and stands as a testament to Canada's ingenuity and dedication in pursuing scientific excellence."
