Held in the lecture hall of the innovation-and-entrepreneurship centre at 739 D'Arcy St. from 1 to 4 p.m., this event has as its theme What Is Heritage. Speakers include a variety of industry experts, including government officials in planning and archaeology as well as local heritage-property owners.
