Thanks to our amazing interpretive staff, and our partners at Parks Canada, and the Niagara Parks Commission for all of their support!

Today marks the 214th anniversary of The Battle of Queenston Heights, the first major engagement in the War of 1812. On October 13, 1812, British Regulars, alongside Canadian Militiamen, including the Coloured Corps, and Indigenous Warriors stood shoulder to shoulder as equals to defend the Heights of Queenston, and what is now Canada.

Join us at 11:00 am for our commemorative tour of the Battle site and Landscape of Nations Memorial this morning. Grab your tickets here: https://friendsoffortgeorge.square.site/special-event-tickets
