World Heritage Submission

The nomination proposal for the Landscape of Grand Pré was submitted by Canada on February 1, 2011.

The proposal will now be evaluated by the World Heritage Committee and its advisory bodies. The evaluation process includes a review of all the material submitted by Nomination Grand Pré and a visit by international experts to the nominated property.
