Designation
Municipal designation and mandatory documentation process
The Historical Resources Act empowers municipalities to protect locally significant places by designating them as Municipal Historic Resources.
Designating a historic resource and listing it on the Alberta and Canadian Registers of Historic Places involves
several steps. Owners of Municipal Historic Resources that are listed on the Alberta Register of Historic Places
may be eligible for cost-sharing programs for conservation from the
The Alberta Historical Resources Foundation
and their municipal government.
Please note that this is not to be construed as legal advice – all steps outlined below for which there are legal implications should be considered with your local legal counsel.
