Cultivating collaborative solutions for a vibrant future. In the 21st century, Canadian communities are looking for new, organic solutions for the revitalization of older districts and heritage buildings.

Get inspired at the 2010 Heritage Canada Foundation conference, the premier educational and networking event for heritage conservation practitioners. Learn through a stimulating mix of debate, case studies, and cutting-edge strategies from across Canada – what works, what doesn’t, and what are the promising new frontiers? Experience historic St. John’s, a dynamic, walkable city with a deep appreciation for its cultural heritage.
