What are the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada?
The Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada are a necessary companion to the Canadian Register of Historic Places, providing clear, helpful direction on the proper conservation of any heritage site. The Standards and Guidelines will help us maintain the most effective conservation practices and develop Manitoba's historic resources to their fullest potential.
The document is the first-ever pan-Canadian benchmark for heritage conservation practice in this country. It offers results-oriented guidance for sound decision making when planning for, intervening in and using historic places.
Who can use the Standards and Guidelines?
Municipal governments, municipal heritage advisory committees, owners of historic places and professionals engaged in conservation work will be encouraged to utilize the Standards and Guidelines so they can access the most up-to-date and complete resource for managing heritage conservation projects.
