2. To develop joint projects and educational opportunities that focus on recounting the story of the War of 1812 from multiple perspectives which will create relevancy amongst visitors of both countries.
3. For the NPS to work jointly with the Recipient to build awareness of the significance of the War of 1812, including the importance of the role of the National Park Service in commemorating and documenting the historic event, and to increase the appreciation of historic sites in Canada and in the United States.
