Heritage Canada Foundation 40th Anniversary Conference

in Association with the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals

Canada’s heritage conservation movement has made great strides in the last 40 years. It is now being challenged to respond to the changes taking place in Canadian society, culture, and economy: from the shift to smaller government and the drive for sustainable communities, to an emphasis on new conservation strategies and legislative tools. We are a diverse community and a new vision for heritage is emerging that will contribute to a new age in Canada.

HCF’s 40th Anniversary National Heritage Conference will explore how older communities, cultural landscapes, buildings and intangible heritage are finding new relevance at this watershed moment.

HCF’s annual national conference is the premier learning and networking event for Canada’s heritage conservation sector. Many items of interest for those with an interest in the conservation of Mid-Century modern:

• A bus tour on Ottawa’s Mid-Century Modern institutional buildings and private homes led by subject-area expert Andrew Waldron.
• Conference presentations on the Dunlap Observatory site in Toronto, 1960s Tower Renewal in Toronto, and the Alaska Highway as a heritage landscape.
