"World Heritage designation has spurred restoration and preservation. Overall port ambience is retained and new construction is kept outside historic core."

"Great example of a living-heritage community. Parks Canada's involvement has resulted, and will continue to result, in resources for preservation of many of the buildings and features. Best surviving example of the British colonial policy of imposing a model town design in Canada."

"Good history, well told. Local festivals bring in lots of people to enjoy music and seafaring."

"Lack of funds to support property owners in maintaining relatively fragile wooden buildings."
