OTTAWA – Eleven projects in conservation architecture, engineering, planning and craftsmanship and the teams that worked on them were presented with awards by the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals recently.

“Heritage conservation is climate action,” said Christienne Uchiyama, president of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals, in a statement. “These awards celebrate heritage professionals’ efforts to rehabilitate, revitalize, and reuse existing buildings and spaces. The people who adapt and conserve existing buildings are playing a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing climate change.”
