Heritage Conservation Planning and Leadership

December 4 – 9, 2006

 

Learn processes, acquire tools and develop strategies integral to heritage conservation revitalization and the advancement of proposals through regulatory and political systems.  What are the necessary components in planning and leading successful heritage conservation projects?

 

Join the Cultural Management Program at the University of Victoria for this five-day immersion learning opportunity for professionals in all areas of the heritage sector.  Participants will develop their capacity to:

  • Lead the planning process to develop solutions to retain at-risk heritage properties,
  • Advance proposals efficiently through the political and regulatory processes,
  • Identify and conserve the core heritage values of properties undergoing redevelopment,
  • Reconcile heritage interests with other competing interests,
  • Plan public consultation processes and gain the collaboration of diverse stakeholders,
  • Integrate Federal Historic Places Initiatives tools into the rehabilitation process,
  • Overcome systematic obstacles to heritage conservation, and
  • Shift political perspectives of heritage as a liability to an asset.

Instructor: Gerry McGeough, MAIBC

 

After graduating with a bachelor of architecture from McGill University in 1986, Gerry McGeough practiced architecture in Montreal specializing in the rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of heritage buildings and infill development in historic contexts. His work involved the rehabilitation of historic landmarks such as the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Daly Building, Faubourg Ste. Catherine, and Dominion Building. To be able to better facilitate the rehabilitation process, he completed a master's degree in real estate development at Columbia University, New York City, in 1992.

Gerry has been Senior Heritage Planner with the Heritage Conservation Program at the City of Vancouver for the past 12 years. In this position he is able to apply his interdisciplinary skills to advance a broad range of conservation projects and to develop new heritage policies and processes. A primary component of this program is working with the multiple stakeholders to develop economically viable solutions for preserving heritage buildings. The latest civic initiative Gerry is helping to lead is a $70-million municipal incentive program for the preservation of heritage buildings in the Downtown East Side of Vancouver.
