Every Canadian province and territory has given their respective municipalities the ability to pass bylaws to protect heritage buildings and sometimes districts. Most large urban centres have heritage planning programs within their planning departments. While heritage designation by municipal bylaw provides recognition and limited protection, it is often the key to managing built heritage resources, as well as a pre-requisite for funding to assist in the rehabilitation or restoration of such property.
