Welcome to the Municipal Heritage Partnership Program!

The Municipal Heritage Partnership Program (MHPP) helps municipalities manage their historic places. The program provides opportunities for municipalities to access funding, expertise and resources to help them establish or maintain an ongoing municipal heritage conservation program.

Support from MHPP, for identification and protection of local historic places, consists primarily of funding and guidance. The Government of Alberta is committed to helping municipalities become stewards of their own unique heritage and the guiding force for the protection of what each community determines to be historically important. The MHPP offers flexible cost-sharing opportunities to aid in the expense of preparing surveys, inventories and management plans.

This website is designed to help you access resources and information about MHPP and local heritage planning practices.
