Heritage Canada Foundation Top Ten Endangered Places List

HCF Accepting Nominations to the 2010

Top Ten Endangered Places List

Submit your nominations to Canada’s TOP TEN Endangered Places List

by March 31, 2010

Ottawa, ON February 11, 2010 – The Heritage Canada Foundation is accepting nominations to Canada’s Top Ten Endangered Places List. The list is released annually to bring national attention to sites at risk due to neglect, lack of funding, inappropriate development and weak legislation. It has become a powerful tool in the fight to make landmarks, not landfill.

HCF uses three primary criteria to determine the 10 final sites for inclusion on the list:

• Significance of the site
• Urgency of the threat
• Community support for its preservation

If you know a site that should be included on our list, tell us about it today.

Nominations should be received by Wednesday, March 31, 2010. The 2010 list will be announced in May.

Feel free to contact us if you’re considering a nomination or have any questions.
