The Heritage Action Plan is a review of the policies and tools used to conserve and celebrate heritage resources. It was approved by Council in December 2013 to improve how the City supports heritage conservation in Vancouver.
Actions implemented through the plan will result in an update of the City’s existing Heritage Conservation Program, which was originally established in 1986, Vancouver's centennial.
Consultants, staff, and a public advisory committee are working on actions set out in the plan. You will also have numerous opportunities to provide your input.
On March 10, 2020, Council approved a progress report on the Heritage Action Plan and its substantial completion.
Council also approved the new Vancouver Heritage Program including its vision, goals, strategic directions, and a set of new management tools.
Council also approved completing the Vancouver Heritage Register Upgrade through the forthcoming comprehensive Vancouver Plan public engagement process in 2020/2021.
