Aerial View of Fort LaTour National/Provincial Archaeological Site, Saint John, NB
Aerial footage of Fort LaTour National/Provincial Archaeological Site. Taken May 4, 2016. This site was an important burial ground 5400 years ago and was continuously occupied unto European Contact ca. 1604. The site was used as a French Trading post from 1631 until 1645 when it was attacked and destroyed by a rival French Fur trader. The fort was later the site of an English Planter trading establishment beginning in 1764 and was later occupied throughout the Loyalist period and into Confederation. The site was an important industrial site in the 19th century, and was even reportedly used as an Anti-Aircraft battery in WW2. The site is a National and Provincially Protected Archaeological Site which requires an Alteration Permit before ground disturbance of any kind can occur on this site.

According to Wikipedia: Fort Beauséjour, (also known as Fort Cumberland), is a National Historic Site officially known as Fort Beauséjour -- Fort Cumberland National Historic Site. It is located approximately eight kilometres east of the town of Sackville on a ridge overlooking the Tantramar Marshes in Aulac, New Brunswick, Canada and is famous for the Battle of Fort Beausejour, which was both the final act in the long fight between Britain and France for control of Acadia and the opening act of the final struggle between the two great empires for North America itself.[1] The fort was renamed Fort Cumberland by the British and was involved in the Battle of Fort Cumberland during the opening stages of the American Revolution.
The longest covered bridge in the world (Hartland - Canada)
(EN) The Hartland Bridge in Hartland, New Brunswick, is the world's longest covered bridge, at 391 metres (1,283 ft) long. It crosses the Saint John River from Hartland to Somerville, New Brunswick, Canada. The framework consists of seven small Howe Truss bridges joined together on six piers.
Before the bridge, the only way to cross the Saint John River was by ferry. Plans and specifications of the bridge began in 1898 and the bridge was constructed in 1901 by the Hartland Bridge Company. On May 13, 1901, Dr. Estey was the first person to cross the bridge before its scheduled opening, because he had to respond to an emergency call. Workers placed planks on the bridge so he could drive across the bridge. It was finally inaugurated by Justice McKeowan on July 4, 1901 before a crowd of 2,000 people. It was funded by tolls[5] until it was purchased by the provincial government on May 1, 1906. The bridge was not originally built covered.
A fire in 1907 burnt some of the structure and nearly destroyed the toll house.
On April 6, 1920, two spans of the bridge collapsed due to river ice. The bridge reopened in 1922 after construction to repair the structure, at which time the bridge was also covered, despite some local opposition. The wooden piers were also converted to concrete.
A pedestrian walkway was added to the bridge in 1945. In 1966, vandals attempted to burn the bridge down.The bridge was declared a National Historic Site of Canada in 1980,[3] and a Provincial Historic Site in 1999.
In 1982, the bridge was again closed for repairs after a car struck a steel beam, causing part of the bridge to drop. The bridge was reopened to traffic on February 10, 1983.
In the winter of 2007, the bridge was closed due to the central beam splitting down the middle. It has since been reopened after repairs were carried out.
On July 4, 2012, in honour of its 111th anniversary, it was celebrated with a Google Doodle on Google's Canadian homepage.
(F) Le pont de Hartland (anglais : Hartland Bridge) est un pont couvert traversant le fleuve Saint-Jean entre Hartland et Somerville, au Nouveau-Brunswick (Canada). Avec ses 391 mètres de longueur, il est le plus long pont couvert au monde. Construit en 1901 mais pas encore couvert, il se détériore rapidement sous l'effet des intempéries et il est partiellement détruit lors d'un embâcle en 1920. Profitant de sa fermeture et des réparations, il est couvert et rouvre en 1922. Il devient un lieu historique national en 1977. Présent dans la culture néo-brunswickoise, il est également un site fréquenté par les touristes. Le pont de Hartland a une longueur de 390,75 mètres (1 282 pieds), ce qui en fait le plus long pont couvert au monde Il est aussi le plus long pont couvert jamais construit au Canada, le second étant un pont de 377 mètres sur la rivière Batiscan, au Québec, en fonction entre 1844 et 1870. Il a en revanche déjà existé des ponts couverts plus longs ailleurs dans le monde, notamment le pont Columbia-Wrightsville, en Pennsylvanie, construit en 1814 et qui mesurait 1 524 mètres de longueur, traversant le fleuve Susquehanna jusqu'à sa destruction en 1863 durant la guerre de Sécession.
Le pont de Hartland ne compte qu'une seule voie de circulatio et ne permet le passage qu'aux véhicules ayant une masse inférieure à 10 tonnes et une hauteur inférieure à 4,20 mètres (13 pieds et 9 pouces). Une petite galerie, elle-aussi couverte et permettant le passage des piétons, est accolée sur le côté sud du pont.

Exploring ABANDONED ISLAND (Partridge Island)
Partridge Island is a Canadian island located in the Bay of Fundy off the coast of Saint John, New Brunswick within the city's Inner Harbour.
The island is a provincial historic site and was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1974.[1] It lies on the west side of the mouth of the Saint John River
Partridge Island was first established as a quarantine station and pest house in 1785 by the Saint John Royal Charter, which also set aside the island for use as a navigational aids station and a military post. Its first use as a Quarantine Station was not until 1816. A hospital was constructed on the island in 1830.
It received its largest influx of immigrants in the 1840s during the Great Famine, known as the Irish Potato Famine, when a shortage of potatoes occurred because of potato blight striking Ireland's staple crop, causing millions to starve to death or otherwise emigrate, mainly to North America. During the famine, some 30,000 immigrants were processed by the island's visiting and resident physicians, with 1196 dying at Partridge Island and the adjacent city of Saint John during the Typhus epidemic of 1847.[2] During the 1890s there were over 78,000 immigrants a year being examined or treated on the island.
A memorial to the Irish immigrants of the mid-1840s was set up on the island in the 1890s but by World War One it had deteriorated. In 1926 the Saint John City Cornet Band approached Saint John contractor George McArthur who agreed to lead a campaign to build a suitable monument. The Celtic Cross memorial to the Irish dead of 1847 was dedicated in 1927. This was restored and rededicated in 1985. In the early and mid-1980s the Saint John Jewish Community, the Loyal Orange Lodge, the Partridge Island Research Project (Harod E. Wright), and the Partridge Island & Harbour Heritage Inc., a company that was registered in 1988 and dissolved in 2004 erected memorials to the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish immigrants buried in one of the six island graveyards, as well as a monument to all of the Irish dead from 1830 to the 1920s.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
National Historic Sites of Canada (French: Lieux historiques nationaux du Canada) are places that have been designated by the federal Minister of the Environment on the advice of the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada (HSMBC), as being of national historic significance. Parks Canada, a federal agency, manages the National Historic Sites program. As of October 2018, there are 987 National Historic Sites, 171 of which are administered by Parks Canada; the remainder are administered or owned by other levels of government or private entities. The sites are located across all ten provinces and three territories, with two sites located in France (the Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial and Canadian National Vimy Memorial).There are related federal designations for National Historic Events and National Historic Persons. Sites, Events and Persons are each typically marked by a federal plaque of the same style, but the markers do not indicate which designation a subject has been given. The Rideau Canal is a National Historic Site, while the Welland Canal is a National Historic Event.

Front Street and Yonge Street in Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, May 2017
Front Street Near Yonge Street, Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Front Street is a road that runs east-west in downtown Toronto. Today, Toronto is the biggest city in Canada, as well as the capital of the province of Ontario. Modern-day Toronto includes the outlying suburban areas of Etobicoke, North York, and Scarborough. Several additional miles of suburban sprawl surround Toronto on all sides. Neighbouring cities like Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, Richmond Hill, Markham, Pickering, and Ajax are considered part of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). But the historic core of the city is centred around Yonge Street south of Bloor Street.
Historically, what is now Toronto was occupied by Iroquoian and Algonquian-speaking indigenous people. European fur traders frequented the area in the 18th century, and the French built a small trade post known as Fort Rouillé or Fort Toronto. The spot where the trade post used to stand is now marked by a small monument in the Exhibition Place Grounds, near the shore of Lake Ontario on the western edge of Downtown Toronto.
The modern city of Toronto was founded by the British in 1793, after they had bought land in the area from the Algonquian-speaking Mississauga First Nations people. Toronto was originally called York, and was much smaller than it is today. The original city was located on the shores of Lake Ontario, near a natural harbour on the lake.
One of Toronto's 1st streets was Yonge Street, which was started by Upper Canada's 1st governor, John Graves Simcoe. The purpose of Yonge St. was to connect York and Lake Ontario with Lake Huron, so that British troops could move quickly overland between these two bodies of water in the case of an American invasion. Today Yonge St. is considered Toronto's main road, running from north to south all the way through the middle of the city, from the shores of Lake Ontario to Steeles' Road, the city's northern boundary in North York. Yonge St. continues northward into the neighbouring towns of Yonge Street.
Front Street was built in 1796. It originally ran along the shoreline of Lake Ontario. Today, however, the lake's shore is about 3 blocks to the south of Front St. The intersection of Yonge and Front streets, then, is one of the oldest parts of Toronto. But virtually nothing is left of the city's earliest buildings. Most of the historic buildings you see around Front and Yonge streets today date from the late 19th or early 20th century.
Union Station, which is located on Front Street near the intersection with Bay Street, is one of Toronto's main transportation hubs. It connects several different public transportation systems. Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway trains connect here through Line 1 Yonge-University. TTC operates trains, light-rail, buses, and streetcars throughout Toronto, with fares costing about $3 one way. GO Transit trains (which connect Toronto other towns in southeastern Ontario) comes to Union Station. Via Rail and Amtrak operate long distance passenger train services from Union Station to other Canadian and American cities (like Montreal or New York City). The Union Pearson Express, or UP Express, provides a fast, but relatively pricey, train service to Toronto Pearson International Airport.
The Fairmont Royal York Hotel is a big historic hotel on Front St. that is right across from Union Station. It was opened in 1929. Down the street, to the east of Royal York Hotel and Union Station, is the Hockey Hall of Fame. Located at the bottom of Yonge St., the Hockey Hall of Fame celebrates some of the best players of ice hockey, one of Canada's most popular sports. Those celebrated in the Hall of Fame include Wayne Gretzky, Gordie Howe, and Maurice Rocket Richard. Toronto's professional ice hockey team are the Toronto Maple Leafs of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Nearby, to the west, is Toronto's most recognizable landmark, the CN Tower. Completed in 1976, the CN Tower was the world's tallest free-standing structure for several years. The Tower is visible over much of Downtown Toronto, and even in parts of neighbouring cities.
Next to the CN Tower is the Rogers Centre, a sports stadium that was orignally known as the SkyDome. The Rogers Centre is home to the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball (MLB). It used to be home to the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL) adn the Toronto Raptors of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) building, CBC Museum, and Glenn Gould Studio are on Front Street, north of the CN Tower and the Rogers Centre.
Other notable places nearby include the Air Canada Centre (on Bay St. south of Union Stn), the Toronto Star Building (on Yonge St. near the lakeshore), Harbourfront Centre (on Queen's Quay at the bottom of Bay St.), and the Redpath Sugar Museum and factory.
