The London Heritage Awards are given out each year by ACO London and HLF in recognition of outstanding leadership excellence in heritage conservation across the London region. Notable past recipients include Jennifer Grainger, Gerald Gallacher, Carl Cadogan, Dawn Miskelly, and structures such as the London Normal School, Wampum Learning Lodge, The Unity Project, Blackfriars Bridge, London Roundhouse, the Clock Tower Inn in Strathroy, and St. Peter’s Seminary, as well as many private homes throughout the London region.
This awards program seeks to recognize individuals and organizations from either the private or public sector who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the conservation of London’s built heritage. Nominees may be proposed for their long-term dedication to the cause, for a single outstanding effort that made a notable difference, for strong leadership and vision in educating the public, or for actions that have brought about a positive outcome for built heritage in our city and region. The awards also seek to honour projects that have actually preserved part of our built heritage. The awards will therefore be given in the following three categories:
To volunteers in the fields of education, awareness, or advocacy
To projects that have preserved built heritage
To professionals who were crucial to the success of a project or who have gone above and beyond their professional role
The number of awards given each year will be at the discretion of the Awards Committee.
