Ottawa, ON April 22, 2009 – In recognition of Earth Day the Heritage
Canada Foundation (HCF) offers a collection of online resources that
celebrate the inherently green credentials of historic buildings. Visit HCF’s

This year, HCF is raising awareness about the sustainable benefits of
keeping heritage buildings from becoming landfill by adapting them to meet
new green environmental standards. In Ontario alone, 2.2 million tonnes of
landfill (23% of the total) is the result of demolition and construction waste.
Rehabilitating and greening the buildings we already have, rather than
demolishing and rebuilding, makes good environmental sense.</span></font>

In February, HCF led the nation in celebrating the numerous environmental
benefits achieved from the rehabilitation of heritage properties with Heritage
and the Environment: Saving Places Built to Last – the theme for Heritage
Day 2009.</span></font>

This week, HCF is releasing a special green issue of Hēritage Magazine
focusing on what historic buildings can teach us about environmentally-
friendly design, and how they can be adapted to meet new energy-efficient
standards.</span></font>
