Obtaining Heritage Property Funding

The provincial government does not provide any funding directly to private property owners to assist with heritage planning or conservation.

If you are looking for funding assistance related to your heritage property, you may wish to contact non-profit organizations in the field. It may also be useful to contact your local government, although most do not have funding programs to assist property owners. The Heritage Legacy Fund supports many heritage projects around the province.

Investment in heritage improvements are generally left to private property owners, although there may be a possibility of receiving compensation for loss of market value due to heritage designation.
