In The News: Continuing engagement for Heritage Conservation Act will be delayed

Government is postponing the introduction of proposed amendments to the Heritage Conservation Act that had originally been anticipated for spring 2026.

This decision reflects the need to continue engagement to gather and incorporate additional feedback from industry, local governments and First Nations. Input received to date has confirmed the importance of streamlining the permitting for major projects on Crown land and private residential projects, ensuring quicker community rebuilds following a disaster, and better protecting heritage and significant First Nations cultural sites.
