Just recently, the Heritage Canada Foundation announced;
The Heritage Canada Foundation (HCF) is
seeking input from Canadians on how recent federal budget cuts—and other
changing social and economic priorities—are affecting heritage in their
communities.
There
is a growing sense that heritage is losing ground. The much-vaunted federal
Historic Places Initiative is a distant memory. More recently, heritage budgets
at the federal and provincial levels have been slashed.
What
are the implications for heritage in Canada? How can heritage advocates make a
difference? HCF’s upcoming National Heritage Summit, October 11-13, will be a
watershed event designed to take stock, explore options and set a new direction
for the heritage movement. What’s working? What’s not? What needs to change?
Be
part of the solution. Share your views:

The Heritage Canada Foundation is a national registered charity
dedicated to the preservation of Canada’s historic places. Y
