Welcome to the Municipal Heritage Partnership Program!

The Municipal Heritage Partnership Program (MHPP) helps municipalities create a future for 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 through building capacity at the local level. Municipalities are the guiding force for protecting what each community determines to be historically significant. The MHPP offers flexible cost-sharing opportunities to aid in the expense of preparing surveys, inventories and management plans.
