Edmonton Heritage Council

The Edmonton Heritage Council was founded in 2009 to give voice to the city’s memory. Through advocacy, grants, initiatives and programming, the Edmonton Heritage Council provides both a voice and a platform to Edmonton’s heritage community, and stimulates the interest of Edmontonians in their own heritage. The Edmonton Heritage Council’s mission is to support the work of individuals and organizations that research, preserve and present Edmonton’s unique heritage; the people and groups that promote an understanding of how this distinct place came to be; and those that engage with our past in planning for our future. The Edmonton Heritage Council’s mandate is to provide a forum for analyzing, discussing and sharing heritage issues in Edmonton, to advocate for a vibrant heritage community and heritage programs that benefit all Edmontonians. We work to unify Edmonton’s heritage community and give it a voice while promoting the awareness and development of effective, informed and recognized heritage principles and practices.
