Heritage Resources Working Group
Our city is rich in heritage resources, both public and private. The purpose of the Heritage Resources Working Group is to support the protection of these valuable resources for future generations.
Heritage resources include built structures, streetscapes, historical and archeological sites, as well as landscapes, archeological specimens and natural features of heritage and historical significance.
The mandate of the working group is to assist with promoting the conservation, preservation, restoration, retention, and awareness of local heritage resources. This work will be based upon the Province of Alberta's Historical Resources Act - R.S.A. 2000.
The Heritage Resources Working Group will:
- Encourage protection of heritage resources that are representative of Medicine Hat's history
- Promote public awareness of heritage resources, including existing and lost resources
- Enhance public understanding of and participation in the conservation of heritage resources
The Heritage Resources Working Group will be accepting new applications in the fall of 2022.
