Program GuidelinesThe Ottawa Architectural Conservation Awards recognize the outstanding restoration and conservation of the City's heritage resources.
Submissions will be considered in three categories as follows: Restoration: Returning a heritage resource to its original form, material and integrity. Adaptive Use: Modification of a heritage resource to contemporary functional standards while retaining its heritage character, with possible adaptation for new uses. Infill: Addition to a heritage building or all new construction within an historic context. Submissions for the Ottawa Architectural Conservation Awards will be reviewed by a sub-committee of the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC) prior to consideration by LACAC, Planning and Environment Committee and City Council. Entries to the Ottawa Architectural Conservation Awards will be assessed based on their conformance to the three program categories described above, municipal law and relevant policies such as those contained in the City of Ottawa Official Plan and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, as amended from time to time. An Award of Excellence can be presented in each category. A plaque will be presented to the applicant for installation on the winning project. Each member of the project team including but not restricted to the property owner, project architect, engineer, designer, major contractors, builders as identified on the submission will receive a framed certificate. A maximum of five framed certificates will be presented. Certificates of Merit can also be presented in each category to projects deserving recognition but to a lesser extent than the top Award of Excellence. More than one Certificate of Merit can be awarded in each category. Presentations will be scheduled to coincide with Heritage Week, the third week in February.
