HERITAGE BUILDINGS UNPROTECTED

Three federal bodies that are responsible for more than two-thirds of the government’s historic structures don’t have adequate plans to protect them. National Defence, Fisheries and Oceans, and Parks Canada don’t even have a handle on what buildings they own, let alone resources and strategies for conserving delicate heritage sites. Some buildings have crumbling bricks, no roofs and graffiti, and some are in real danger of collapsing, the latest report says.
