1. Confederation Birthplace Memorial Park/Confederation Boulevard Marker
Confederation Birthplace Commemorative Park was built in honor of a nation-building conference held in Charlottetown in 1864. Many other sites across Canada commemorate Confederation, including Confederation Boulevard in Canada’s Capital Region.
The Ceremonial root links great Canadian institutions, such as the Parliament, the Supreme Court, and the National Gallery of Canada. The Nations Capital Commission (NCC) maintains Confederation Boulevard, as well as many other historic sites in Canada’s Capital Region. The NCC uses Canada’s Capital to promote unity and a sense of symbolic connection between Canadians.
The NCC has donated the granite pavement and furniture of this rest area, which are identical to the granite pavement and furniture found along Confederation Boulevard in Canada’s Capital Region, as a symbol of the historic link between the two sites.
Confederation Boulevard and its Reflections here in Charlottetown are real and important expressions of Canadian heritage.

Le parc Commémoratif du berceau de la Conféderation a été créé pour rappeller une conference qui s’est ténue à Charlottetown en 1864 et qui a donné naissnace à notre pays.
Le Canada regorge de sites commémorant la Conféderation, dont le boulevard de la Conféderation, dans la région de la Capitale du Canada. Ce parcours d’honneur relie de grandes institutions canadiennes telles que Le Parlement, la Cour suprême Canada et la Musée des beaux-arts du Canada.
La Commission de la capitale national (CCN) assure l’entretien du boulevard de la Conféderation, de même que celui d’autres sites historiques de la Capitale. La CCN se sert de la Capital due Canada pour promouvoir l’unité et créer des sens symboliques entre les Canadiens.
La CCN a fait don de la chaussée en granite et de l’ameublement qui orient cette aire de repos. Ils sont dentiques à ceux que l’on retrieve le long du boulevard de la Conféderation, au coeur de la Capitale du Canada, afin de la Capitale du Canada, afin de symbolizer le lien historique entres les deux sites. Le boulevard de la Conféderation et son pendant, ici à Charlottetown constituent des manifestations réelles et importances du patrimonies canadien.
