Submit your nominations to Canada’s TOP TEN Endangered Places List by May 11, 2011

Ottawa, ON March 1, 2011 – The Heritage Canada Foundation is accepting nominations to Canada’s Top Ten Endangered Places List. The list is released annually to bring national attention to sites at risk due to neglect, lack of funding, inappropriate development and weak legislation. It has become a powerful tool in the fight to make landmarks, not landfill.

HCF uses three primary criteria to determine the 10 final sites for inclusion on the list:
• Significance of the site
• Urgency of the threat
• Community support for its preservation

If you know a site that should be included on our list, tell us about it today.
