Heritage Of Canada

» Small buildings, historical residences and all other structures of heritage interest, such as religious heritage in urban settings and in towns, are constantly threatened by social change, and sometimes exposed to environmental conditions that threaten their physical integrity and heritage values. As the actual guardians of this heritage, the owners and citizens have little or no resources to provide minimum protection of their cultural heritage.

» Silos in the Canadian prairies are complex structures with significant heritage and symbolic value. Their functional importance reflects their role in the country's economic development. A nearly systematic abandonment of these massive structures accelerates their deterioration and a lack of financial resource jeopardizes their architectural and structural integrity.

» Industrial sites that bear witness to revolutionary technical prowess and economic growth are both well and poorly maintained with respect to their architectural and structural integrity. Inappropriate use or demolition are often the result of urban development, given the great capacity for re-use, rehabilitation, and even use of land for more lucrative purposes.
