What is the Vancouver Heritage Register?
The Vancouver Heritage Register is the cornerstone of the city of Vancouver heritage program. Adopted in 1986 (then known as the Heritage Inventory), it is a policy and guideline document, managed by the City of Vancouver, which includes more than 2,200 buildings, landscapes, monuments and archaeological sites. To be included on the Register, sites must be identified as having heritage value and/or heritage character and be at least 20 years old. The Register is a planning tool which provides a valuable record of Vancouver's heritage.
