The Carleton University Heritage Conservation Symposium is a one-day event organized by graduate students, alumni and faculty in the School of Canadian Studies and the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism. This year, we are partnering with the Carleton's Ottawa Research Collaborative. The event brings together students, academics and professionals in critical discussion on issues related to heritage studies and heritage conservation theory and practice.The annual event began in 2004 under the direction of the late Herb Stovel, who was at that time Associate Professor at the School and coordinator of the Heritage Conservation Program. Since then, the Symposium has been held on topics such as heritage designation, multivocal heritage practices, heritage and technology, borders in heritage conservation, heritage and identities, and most recently, authenticity in conservation practice.
