REVITALIZE! Economic Renewal. Quality of Life. Heritage Buildings. 

September 30 – October 2, 2010
St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland

HCF Annual Conference in cooperation with the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals.

Cultivating collaborative solutions for a vibrant future.

In the 21st century, Canadian communities are looking for new, organic solutions for the revitalization of older districts and heritage buildings.

Join us on a voyage of discovery as we explore how heritage buildings, social innovation, civic engagement and collaboration can work together to create prosperous and liveable communities. Get inspired at the 2010 Heritage Canada Foundation conference, the premier educational and networking event for heritage conservation practitioners.

Learn through a stimulating mix of debate, case studies, and cutting-edge strategies from across Canada – what works, what doesn’t, and what are the promising new frontiers?

Experience historic St. John’s, a dynamic, walkable city with a deep appreciation for its cultural heritage. Together we will learn how heritage buildings can become agents of economic renewal and how innovative collaborations can sustain renewal over the long-haul.

Featured Speakers

Michael Loveday (Norwich, United Kingdom) – Michael Loveday is Chief Executive of the Heritage Economic and Regeneration Trust (HEART) charged with the co-ordination, regeneration and promotion of heritage buildings and public spaces in Norwich, Norfolk, and is acting as an international authority on best practices. Mr. Loveday is Chair of Living Streets (formerly the National Pedestrians Association) and an advisor for the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE). He has helped make Norwich a leader in heritage-led regeneration through such initiatives as the reanimation of Norwich Lanes – the largest concentration of independent retailers in historic shops in the UK – and a £20M project to repurpose the country’s only surviving medieval friary. He is a regular speaker in Europe, Australasia and North America for a broad range or organizations including the World Bank, European Union, ICOMOS, World League of Historical Cities, Walk 21, International Council of Shopping Centres, and the Planning Institute of Australia.

Dr. Ned Kaufman (New York, NY) – Ned Kaufman is a free-lance consultant in heritage conservation who also writes and teaches. His work has challenged historic preservationists to go beyond a traditional focus on beautiful buildings and become a part of a larger movement for social justice. His 2009 book Place, Race, and Story: Essays on the Past and Future of Historic Preservation offers frameworks and case studies that demonstrate what a progressive heritage conservation movement looks like. Dr. Kaufman founded and co-directed Pratt Institute’s graduate program in historic preservation and currently serves as Director of Research and Training at Rafael Viñoly Architects. He curated the inaugural exhibition of the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal.

Dr. Thomas Hutton (Vancouver, BC) – Thomas Hutton is a Professor in the Centre for Human Settlements, and the School of Community and Regional Planning at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Research themes of special interest to him are the built environment and economic change, the implications of innovation and restructuring in Canadian city-regions, and the cultural economy of the inner city. Dr. Hutton’s publications include The New Economy of the Inner City: Restructuring, Regeneration and Dislocation in the 21st Century Metropolis (2007) and articles on the regeneration and dislocation in inner city Vancouver, and the new economic spaces in Asia-Pacific cities.
