Heritage Awards
To Recognize the Preservation and Renovation of our Architectural Heritage
Every year, Heritage Burlington sponsors the Burlington Heritage Building Awards, recognizing property owners who have contributed to the preservation of our built heritage for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
The Restoration Award is given for a completed project that preserves a heritage building by means of maintenance or restoration that respects the original design, details and materials.
The Renovation Award is given for a project that preserves a heritage building or neighbourhood through a renovation or an addition in a way that enhances and is compatible with the original building or surrounding neighbourhood. The undertaking may be large or small and have been designed and completed as a do-it-yourself project, or by professionals.

- Only exterior work visible from the street will be judged
- Quality of maintenance
- Respect for original building materials
- Use of restored or reproduction period details
