Current & Recent Projects The Historic Places Intitiative. I have prepared over 100 reports for the Historic Places Initiative, a National program documenting Canada's Municipal, Provincial and Federal Heritage Sites. Special
Places Projects were developed by the Historic Resources Branch as a
method of creating Community Inventories of Heritage Resources and
subjecting the sites to an analysis process that will help communties
protect and use their heritage resources to best advantage. I
piloted the first projects in 5 communities in 2008. As of 2011 I
have produced Special
Places Projects for 14
Urban and Rural
Communities in Manitoba. We are currently completing a Notable People Projects in Hartney, Melita and the R.M. of Argyle. Such projects will use the process developed for Special Places Projects with the focus being on People as opposed to Buildings. The result will be a comprehensive documentation of the forces and events that make each community unique. See News Reports : See Samples Notable Themes & Events in Community History We are
currently
developing a project which aims to identify and explore the main themes
in a community's history and produce documents that will help
communities recognize, explore, celebrate and promote the Heritage
assets that every community has.
Heritage District Projects As consultant to the The Virden Heritage District Project I have completed the research and analysis of the buildings in Virden's proposed Heritage District and produced the Heritage Values Statements and related documents required for the first stage of the designation process. Virden will be the the second Manitoba town to designate a Local Heritage District. See news reports. |
