Origin Notes and History:
|
In May 1934 the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada declared the site of Kootenae House to be of national importance. A plaque was erected in 1938. An administrative adjustment in 2004 led to the addition of Kootenae House National Historic Site of Canada, and the French form "Lieu historique national du Canada Kootenae House" to the list of sites administered by Parks Canada.
