EVENTS
RAW:Gallery of Architecture and Design
Raw:Gallery will be hosting a new drawing show by local artist Galen Johnson. Johnson's new body of
work entitled "EXTINCTION" will be on exhibition from January to February.
Opening Friday January 14th, 2011 at 8:00pm - 290 McDermot Avenue
About the work: "Extinction" features a series of drawings that celebrate the corrosion and distortion of
memory by time. The drawings do not attempt to depict the process itself, but rather to isolate a specific
moment in the process and present it as an inscrutable but technically precise architectural fetish object.
About the artist: Galen Johnson is a Winnipeg artist, illustrator, graphic designer and an Environmental
Design graduate from the University of Manitoba. His work has appeared in numerous publications,
including the Walrus, Border Crossings and Canadian Dimension magazine, where he is currently the art
director. This is his third solo show, and his second in Winnipeg.

ANNUAL PRESERVATION AWARDS
NOMINATION FORM
HERITAGE WINNIPEG CORPORATION
Since 1985, Heritage Winnipeg (a non-profit, charitable organization) has sponsored an annual awards program that
seeks to recognize those people who are dedicated to the protection, restoration and conservation of Winnipeg’s
built heritage.
Awards are presented in three categories:
1
Heritage Conservation Awards
These awards recognize special efforts in specific projects to protect, conserve and reuse structures of
high historic or architectural value. Heritage conservation awards may be given specifically for Commercial,
Institutional or Residential projects, that involve the sensitive and adaptive use and/or re-use of these
structures and provide for their long-term protection. Awards typically go to building owners, but special
recognition may also be given to consultants and contractors of the project selected for an award.
In the case of a successful residential project, a special award will be given in the honour of C.W. Chivers, a well known
Winnipeg architect who designed such structures as All Saint’s Church, Balmoral Hall and the Assiniboine Park Pavilion.
Eligible Properties:
Complete application forms will be accepted if the following conditions have been met:
• Complete applications must be submitted by the property owner or with consent from the owner.
• Eligible properties (residential, institutional or commercial) to be within Winnipeg’s boundaries.
• Owners must ensure that the conservation work was undertaken with all the necessary heritage, urban
design, and development approvals issued prior to work commencing on the project.
• The entire scope of work must have been completed. Projects that are phased over several years will
be eligible upon final completion.

special efforts which will held be on National Heritage Day/ Louis Riel Day which takes place on the third Monday in
February. Time and location to be announced.

1 HERITAGE CONSERVATION AWARD
To ensure consistency and to promote sound conservation practices, judges refer to the Standards and Guidelines for the
Conservation of Historic Places when evaluating the nominations. These Standards were developed to guide conservation
practice in Canada. They are based on universally recognized conservation principles inspired by International Heritage
Conservation Charters. The Standards are to be applied to historic places, and to new construction attached, adjacent or
related to various types of cultural resources.
www.pc.gc.ca/docs/pc/guide/nldclpc-sgchpc/index_E.asp
Step 1: Choose the Appropriate Level of Conservation Treatment
The Standards consider conservation according to three levels of treatment: Preservation, Rehabilitation and Restoration,
while recognizing that a given conservation project will often include a combination of these activities. A particular
treatment is selected based on the primary objective of the conservation project and the heritage value of the place.
Preservation
Preservation is the action or process of protecting, maintaining and/or stabilizing the existing materials, form and integrity
of a historic place or an individual component, while protecting the heritage value. It tends to be the most cautious of the
conservation treatments and retains the most materials.
Preservation is the primary treatment:
· When heritage values related to materials dominate, and
· When the materials, features and spaces are essentially intact.
If the project is a Preservation nomination, evaluate it against Standards 1-9.
Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation is the action or process of making possible a continuing or compatible contemporary use of a historic place
or of an individual component, while protecting its heritage value. This treatment can revitalize historical relationships and
settings and is therefore appropriate when heritage values related to the context of the historic place dominate.
Rehabilitation is the primary treatment:
· When character-defining elements have to be repaired or replaced, and
· When alterations or additions are necessary for a new or continued use.
If the project is a Rehabilitation nomination, evaluate it against Standards 1-9 and 10-12.
Restoration
Restoration is the action or process of accurately revealing, recovering or representing the state of a historic place or of
an individual component, as it appeared at a particular period in its history, while protecting its heritage value. It is most
appropriate when strong associative or symbolic heritage values have been obscured and can be revealed through
removals, repairs and replacements based on detailed historical evidence.
Restoration is the primary treatment:
· When the significance of the place during a particular period in history significantly outweighs the potential loss
of existing materials.
If the project is a Restoration nomination, evaluate it against Standards 1-9 and 13-14.
APA 2011

Step 2: Review the Standards
Consider the nominated project against all the Standards associated with the treatment
that was decided upon in Step 2.
After reading each Standard, ask ‘has the Standard been achieved?” Indicate whether or
not the Standard has been achieved by circling ‘yes’ or ‘no.’
General Standards (all projects)
1 Conserve the heritage value of a historic place. Do not remove, replace, or substantially
alter its intact or repairable character-defining elements. Do not move a part of a historic
place if its current location is a character-defining element.
2 Conserve changes to a historic place which, over time, have become character-defining
elements in their own right.
Achieved
3 Conserve heritage value by adopting an approach calling for minimal intervention. Yes No
Yes
Yes
No
No
Definitions of Key Terms:
4 Recognize each historic place as a physical record of its time, place and use. Do not create
a false sense of historical development by adding elements from other historic places or
other properties or by combining features of the same property that never coexisted.
5 Find a use for a historic place that requires minimal or no change to its character-defining
elements.
6 Protect and, if necessary, stabilize a historic place until any subsequent intervention is
undertaken. Protect and preserve archaeological resources in place. Where there is
potential for disturbance of archaeological resources, take mitigation measures to limit
damage and loss of information.
7 Evaluate the existing condition of character-defining elements to determine the appropriate
intervention needed. Use the gentlest means possible for any intervention. Respect heritage
value when understanding an intervention.
8 Maintain character-defining elements on an ongoing basis. Repair character-defining
elements by reinforcing their materials using recognized conservation methods. Replace
in kind any extensively deteriorated or missing parts of character-defining elements, where
there are surviving prototypes.
9 Make any intervention needed to preserve character-defining elements physically and
visually compatible with the historic place, and identifiable upon close inspection. Document
any intervention for future reference.
Additional Standards Relating to Rehabilitation
10 Repair rather than replace character-defining elements. Where character-defining elements
are too severely deteriorated to repair, and where sufficient physical evidence exists,
replace them with new elements that match the forms, materials and detailing of sound
versions of the same elements. Where there is insufficient physical evidence, make the
form, material and detailing of the new elements compatible with the character of the historic
place.
11 Conserve the heritage value and character-defining elements when creating any new
additions to a historic place or any related new construction. Make the new work physically
and visually compatible with, subordinate to and distinguishable from the historic place.
12 Create any new additions of related new construction so that the essential form and integrity
of a historic place will not be impaired if the new work is removed in the future.
Additional Standards Relating to Restoration
13 Repair rather than replace character-defining elements from the restoration period. Where
character-defining elements are too severely deteriorated to repair and where sufficient
physical evidence exists, replace them with new elements that match the forms, materials
and detailing of sound versions of the same elements.
14 Replace missing features from the restoration period with new features whose forms,
materials and detailing are based on sufficient physical, documentary and/or oral evidence.

Character-defining elements:
the materials, forms, location, spatial
configurations, uses and cultural
associations or meanings that
contribute to the heritage value of a
historic place, which must be retained
in order to preserve its heritage value
Conservation:
all actions or processes that are aimed
at safeguarding the character-defining
elements of a cultural resource so as
to retain its heritage value and extend

“Restoration” or a combination of
these actions or processes
Heritage Value:
the aesthetic, historic, scientific,
cultural, social or spiritual importance
or significance for past, present or
