Heritage conservation is about conserving cultural heritage resources that have lasting cultural heritage value or interest to a community. Cultural heritage resources contribute to a community’s unique sense of place. Conservation of historic places includes a range of activities: identification, evaluation, protection or formal recognition, promotion and celebration in a manner that ensures cultural heritage value is retained and expressed or communicated.

NPG Planning Solutions offers heritage consultation services for the evaluation, identification, and celebration of cultural heritage resources, including buildings, properties, and cultural heritage landscapes. Our team has former municipal heritage planners (including CAHP certified) with experience in project management, community consultation, consensus building and heritage policy development, which allows us to advise our clients on ways to achieve heritage conservation best practices and find realistic goals for proposed developments that contain historic places.

Our team can offer advice to municipalities on ways to improve municipal heritage planning processes. As a multi-disciplinary firm, NPG has heritage planners with experience in development planning under the Planning Act, and urban design, ensuring a holistic and integrated approach to planning great communities while maintaining a strong sense of place.
