In June, we asked owners of older houses what support they wanted in the maintenance and upkeep of their homes.
We were thrilled to received responses from across the province from all kinds of homes and heritage situations!
The one thing that resonated throughout the responses - You want to do right by your old house.
This resource was created to help you do that. Go to our site for vetted resources, FAQ answers and more.
Municipal elections are around the corner. Having a local government that prioritizes your community's heritage is important for the continued conservation of its heritage resources. Use our elections resources to see how to address candidates on these issues.
These resources are a part of a re-organization of all of the advocacy resources on our website. Go to our Advocacy page to see all of our relevant resources in one place.
