Ottawa, ON, December 3, 2008 – Reduce, reuse, recycle – Heritage Day
2009 is an opportunity for Canadian communities to celebrate the numerous
environmental benefits achieved from the rehabilitation of heritage
properties. HCF promotes the third Monday in February each year as
Heritage Day and has long advocated adopting this date as a national
holiday.</span></font>

This year, HCF is celebrating Heritage and the Environment: Saving Places
Built to Last. A number of useful resources are now available online to assist
communities to develop a program around this theme—whether it is to
celebrate the inherently green credentials of historic buildings, highlight how
they have been upgraded to more environmentally friendly standards, or to
offer information on how to œgreen heritage buildings.</span></font>

HCF will continue to celebrate the Heritage 2009 theme when we host our
annual conference, The Heritage Imperative: Old Buildings in an Age of
Environmental Crisis, in Toronto this coming September. Join us in finding
out how old buildings have answers for the biggest questions of our
generation.</span></font>
