In 2002, at the urging of [[Hamilton, Ontario]] [[Parliament of Canada|MP]] [[Sheila Copps]], [[Parks Canada]] purchased ''Haida'' from the provincial government and towed her (with great difficulty) from her Ontario Place dock to a shipyard at [[Port Weller, Ontario|Port Weller]] for a $5 million refit to her hull. She was taken to a new home on the Hamilton waterfront and arrived to an 11-gun salute from 31 Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps ''Lion'' and her 12-pounder naval field gun on 30 August 2003, the 60th anniversary of her commissioning into the RCN.<ref name=cbchaida/> The destroyer is now a [[National Historic Site of Canada|National Historic Site]] and is a museum ship on the Hamilton waterfront in front of Hamilton's Naval Reserve Division, {{HMCS|Star}}.

In July 2006 ''Haida'' was "twinned" with the Polish destroyer ''Błyskawica'' in a ceremony in Gdynia, Poland. Both ships served in the 10th Destroyer Flotilla during the Second World War. The ceremony was attended by former crew members of both ships and the general public. The ship was visited in 2009 by [[Charles, Prince of Wales|Prince Charles, Prince of Wales]], and his wife, [[Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall]], and, on June 29, 2010, at [[Government House (Nova Scotia)|Government House]] in [[Nova Scotia]], [[Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh]], presented to representatives of HMCS ''Haida'' the World Ship Trust Certificate.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.royaltour.gc.ca/faq-eng.cfm |last=Government of Canada |author-link=Government of Canada |title=2010 Royal Tour > Itinerary for 2010 Royal Tour of Canada |publisher=Queen's Printer for Canada |access-date=15 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100621033614/http://royaltour.gc.ca/faq-eng.cfm |archive-date=21 June 2010 }}</ref> In September 2016, the ship was towed to Heddle Marine to undergo repairs and upgrades.
