Our History
  The Friends of Fort George is a non-profit, cooperating association that was started in 1987. At the invitation of Parks Canada, local residents concurred that there were opportunities to become actively involved in the activities at Fort George. A Board of Directors was elected in 1987 with written bylaws of incorporation. An Executive Director was hired in 1990 and since that time the organization has continued to grow.

Promoting our Mandate
  Each year The Friends of Fort George operates two gift shops, one located within Fort George and the other at Brock's Monument. The Friends also oversee the interpretive programs at Brock's Monument.

 


Special Events
  Special events are organized by The Friends of Fort George to generate awareness and funds to support initiatives. These funds are then used, along with grants, to hire approximately twenty students for positions in the interpretation program at Fort George, Brock's Monument and Gift Shop.
  The Friends support events organized by Parks Canada staff at Niagara National Historic Sites.
  A variety of services for all participants are provided for these events by the Friends, including meals, promotional material and equipment.
