PLEASE NOTE: Registration for this event is now closed.

 

Join us for this informative, one-day event of presentations, walking tours and practical information focusing on Ottawa's Rich Rural and Suburban Heritage.

In keeping with the theme, this year’s event takes place at St. John's Anglican Church, South March, located at 325 Sandhill Road in Kanata.

Bruce Elliott, Professor of History at Carleton University, will deliver the keynote address on the topic of South March as an exemplar of the successes and failures of rural heritage conservation.

We'll also hear from other speakers on topics including current heritage conservation practices, how heritage properties are designated, local archaeology, adaptive reuse of heritage structures, and the challenges of maintaining heritage character in older rural neighborhoods.

During the day you’ll have a chance to meet people who are actively involved in heritage conservation and working to preserve our unique historical character in the National Capital Region.

There will also be site visits to local heritage properties and an optional bus tour of Beaverbrook - soon to be studied for consideration as Ottawa's next heritage district.

Heritage Ottawa is pleased to co-host this year's Heritage Forum event with The Pinhey's Point Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to the heritage aspects of the Horaceville historic site at Pinhey's Point, on the Ottawa River near Dunrobin.

The event begins at 9:30 am and runs to 5:00 pm. Parking at St. John’s Anglican is free for the entire day. The church can also be reached by public transit on OC Transpo Route # 93. 

Event space is limited so pre-registration is required. The registration fee is $20.00 per person, which includes a catered lunch and refreshments during the day and the optional bus tour of Beaverbrook.
