The annual National Trust Conference is Canada’s largest heritage learning and networking event. Held every year since 1974, the National Trust Conference brings together a wide-range of people working to keep Canada’s heritage alive: from grassroots activists and elected officials, to professionals, planners, policy makers, and property owners.
Building on joint conferences in Ottawa 2017 and Edmonton 2020, the Association for Preservation Technology (APT), National Trust for Canada, Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP), and Indigenous Heritage Circle (IHC) have joined forces once again to present this major international heritage conservation conference.
Building Bridges: Connecting Places, Cultures, and Practices will bring together 900+ participants from a diverse range of backgrounds from across North America and beyond: from professionals (emerging and established), craftspeople, and advocates, to developers, planners, heritage site operators, volunteers, academics, and students.
