HERITAGE OTTAWA

The National Trust for Canada and Faith for the Common Good are co-hosting a one-day community workshop entitled "Regenerating Places of Faith".

Places of faith anchor and shape our communities, yet many congregations face declining attendance and insufficient funding to maintain and operate their historic buildings. These important community assets are in a period of transition across Canada, and Ottawa is no exception. What is their future, and how can they continue to contribute to their communities in a positive way?

Local faith groups, heritage and community organizations will share their experience, concerns and creative solutions to the challenges confronting local places of faith. Inspiring examples of regeneration strategies and adaptive reuse from Ottawa and across Canada will be presented.

The workshop takes place on Saturday, May 14, 2016.

Spaces are limited. Advance registration is required by Wednesday, May 11.
