Commercial Heritage Properties Incentive Fund

The objective of the Commercial Heritage Properties Incentive Fund is to engage a broad range of taxable Canadian corporations in preserving Canada's heritage properties, to the benefit of Canadians and communities throughout Canada.

The program is designed to award financial incentives to eligible commercial historic places listed on the Canadian Register of Historic Places (provided that conservation work complies with the Standards & Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada) in order to:

• save threatened historic properties from demolition or destruction;
• preserve historic properties for future generations through proper conservation; and
• develop new or enhance existing commercial purposes for historic properties within the community.

The Commercial Heritage Properties Incentive Fund began in 2003 as an ongoing pilot project. It has been closed to new applicants since September 2006.

We are currently not accepting applications, but if you are interested in the program, please consult our website regularly for updates.
