Do you have a passion for the preservation of built heritage? Join Marc Denhez, lawyer and adjudicator with over 30 years’ experience in the law of built, natural and intangible heritage, and Heritage Ottawa for an evening lecture series on the challenges facing the growing “fix-up” industry and the challenges it faces when it comes to reconciling reuse and heritage preservation with budget restrictions.
