Learn more about the Language Ambassador Program

The Language Ambassador Program provides a space to connect with Canadians from various language communities and showcase HMCS Haida National Historic Site.

The Language Ambassador Program helps create a welcoming and inclusive environment for newcomers from different language backgrounds, provides a more accessible and engaging experience for visitors, and highlights the cultural diversity that makes Canada unique.

Since 2017, Parks Canada, in collaboration with Mohawk College, has delivered Language Day programming. These Language Days provide an opportunity for a wider range of communities to learn about Canadian history in their native language while visiting HMCS Haida - the Royal Canadian Navy's "most fightingest ship"!

Come visit us on Language Days and:

• Feel welcome in your own language at one of the most fascinating historic sites Parks Canada has to offer!
• Learn about our shared history in your first language!
• Get connected to your community and share with them your wonderful experience at HMCS Haida!
