HERITAGE OTTAWA

The City of Ottawa is currently accepting applications for the Heritage Grant for Building Restoration program.

Property owners of buildings designated under Part IV (individually-designated heritage properties) or Part V (properties in Heritage Conservation Districts) of the Ontario Heritage Act are eligible to apply for matching restoration grants of up to $10,000 for small-scale buildings, and up to $25,000 for large-scale buildings.

In the case of Part IV designations, the property's character-defining heritage attributes, as described in the Statement of Reason for Designation, should be the top priority for restoration. In the case of properties within Heritage Conservation Districts, only contributing properties (rated Category 1, 2 or 3) are eligible for grants for exterior restoration.

The deadline for this year's applications is February 28, 2022.

For more information, questions and/or details regarding how to apply, visit the City of Ottawa website or contact Heritage Planner Greg MacPherson at greg.macpherson@ottawa.ca or 613-580-2424 ext. 23665.
