Heritage Ottawa advocates for the preservation of Ottawa’s distinctive built heritage and cultural landscapes. They speak out for and defend worthy heritage properties that are at risk of inappropriate intervention or loss. The Aberdeen Pavilion, the Billings Estate, the East Block of the Parliament Buildings, the Château Laurier and the Central Experimental Farm are just some of the properties that have benefited from Heritage Ottawa’s advocacy efforts.

Heritage Ottawa promotes the awareness, understanding and appreciation of Ottawa’s wonderful built heritage and distinctive cultural places. Our popular Lecture Series, Walking Tours, and Workshops are a great way to learn more about Ottawa’s local history and heritage while meeting people who share similar interests.
