Strengthen your capacity to:

 *   Trace the evolution of preservation and conservation activity in Canada and beyond
 *   Work within a principles-driven, systematically organized and systemic framework for conservation decision-making
 *   Identify programmes, information and research resources and networks that support conservation activity
 *   Distinguish between intervention, conservation and management planning for places of heritage value, and work with methodologies for each
 *   Respect and integrate the values and interests of communities in conservation decision-making
 *   Recognize the range of options for intervention, use and development (additions, modifications) that can be considered in managing historic properties
 *   Anticipate the implications for conservation decision-making of contemporary concerns for values-based approaches, sustainability, risk preparedness, monitoring effectiveness, building performance upgrading (seismic and fire codes, energy performance, accessibility requirements), cultural landscape and other holistic approaches, environmental assessment approaches; and shifting emphases in legal and institutional frameworks
