Ninth Annual
Heritage Day Workshop
and Celebration

 Monday, Feb. 20, 2006
8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

University of Waterloo – School of Architecture

 In an era where heritage is threatened by development pressures, many Ontario municipalities and private sector companies are making special efforts to retain and restore heritage assets.  Why...because heritage is what gives our communities a sense of place and a competitive edge for attracting new economic development and business.

Learn more about how heritage can strengthen local economy and sense of place at the upcoming Heritage Day Workshop.  The workshop will be held at the University of Waterloo’s newly renovated School of Architecture in the historic Riverside Silk Mills on the banks of the Grand River – a Canadian Heritage River.

Speakers will share first-hand experience about best practices and the proven benefits of promoting local heritage.  The workshop will also feature a mayors’ panel, displays, tours of the school, and a reception at the Riverside Gallery.
