Heritage celebrations in Europe and Canada

Overview

Heritage celebrations continue across Europe and Canada, focusing on historical landmarks and preservation efforts.

In France, the European Heritage Days include themes such as ‘Photography Heritage’ and ‘Heritage in Peril’. In Brignon, heritage events scheduled for September 19 and 20 will focus on a local Protestant temple. Due to the building’s condition, the interior remains closed to the public, but visitors can join guided village tours and presentations on Protestant history. A fundraising campaign in partnership with the Fondation du Patrimoine is underway to address urgent roof renovations estimated to cost between €200,000 and €250,000.

In Canada, the 9th edition of the Religious Heritage Days, titled ‘De clocher en clocher’, is scheduled for September 11 to 13, 2026. Organized by the Conseil du patrimoine religieux du Québec, the event has expanded significantly to include 142 heritage sites and circuits across more than 90 municipalities, spanning from the Abitibi forests to the Magdalen Islands. This edition marks a notable shift as sites outside of Quebec will participate for the first time, initiating what organizers describe as a ‘pan-Canadian movement’. The program features guided tours of cemeteries, gardens, and historical sites. While activities are free, the public is encouraged to donate to support site preservation.
