<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Heritage Conservation Planning: Contextual Framework Project<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">November 6, 2018<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">In partnership with the Provincial Heritage Branch, Heritage BC is seeking a consultant or consultant team to develop a framework recommendation that expands the typical approach to heritage conservation
planning to take into account a greater context of influences on the built environment.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">A principal goal of this project is to place the conservation of the built environment into a larger framework that includes the environmental, cultural, social, and Indigenous contexts. This project
will produce a template to guide the research and conservation of other similar sites found throughout the province and to stand as a model for enhanced heritage research and conservation for the built environment. In addition to the deliverables listed below,
the research and template will be further developed, with input from the consultant, into training sessions and documents to be delivered by Heritage BC. Delivery formats may include Heritage BC’s website, webinars, and the annual conference.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Elkington House will be used as a case study for this project. Built in 1895, Elkington House is located at Oak Park in the </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Municipality
of North Cowichan</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"> and is currently owned by the Nature Conservancy of Canada.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Elkington House encompasses a full spectrum of heritage components including the area’s relationship with Indigenous peoples; the property’s establishment as an early pioneer farm that was retained
by the same family for over 100 years; and the rare and intact Garry Oak ecosystem surrounding the house. These tangible, intangible, Indigenous, and landscape values intertwine to create a richer story of heritage significance.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">The intent of this proposal is to provide the necessary documentation that will lead to the successful conservation of Elkington House. It is anticipated that the document will identify items in
need of conservation, by priority, and assign an approximate dollar value to each specified task. Additionally, these documents will provide a model that can be used for other similar sites found throughout British Columbia to offer a broad-based contextualization
for heritage conservation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:black">Heritage BC will coordinate the evaluation of proposals in consultation with the Heritage Branch. The goal will be to identity the proponent that is most advantageous for the successful completion
of the deliverables.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
