The annual National Trust Conference (formerly the Heritage Canada Foundation) is Canada’s largest event for professionals, practitioners, academics, and volunteers engaged in regenerating and saving our heritage places. This is your opportunity to meet and be inspired by the 400-plus participants from across Canada. Heritage is an energy producer that infuses Canadian communities with cultural and economic vitality, sparks new investment, and ensures their long-term sustainability. National Trust 2015 will explore how heritage energy can turn places around, empower people, and create opportunities.
The 2015 conference contains the broadest range of workshops we’ve ever mounted: from conserving the oldest log building in Calgary, to brick masonry conservation, heritage real estate development, and the digital documentation of heritage buildings. We’ve also assembled a slate of inspiring keynote speakers that will introduce you to cutting-edge heritage from around Alberta and the globe: from heritage thinkers and developers to internationally acclaimed fiction writers. Conference sessions will explore façade retention, adaptive reuse, cultural landscapes, and sustainable building. Indigenous cultural heritage will have a strong presence throughout the conference, including the ground-breaking pre-conference event, Moh-Kins-Tsis │ Calgary Indigenous Heritage Roundtable.
