  1. Structures located in areas that have been under-represented in previous designation cycles, including Western and Central Newfoundland, or Labrador;
  2. Structures that represent themes that have been under-represented in previous designation cycles, including Indigenous history, women’s history, or multi-ethnic heritage;
  3. Structures that represent outstanding examples of the built heritage of the Modern/Industrial period, or agricultural site history;
  4. Sites which include significant cultural landscapes as part of the designation.

About the funding

Designation by Heritage NL is commemorative only and does not place any particular restrictions on the owner.

  1. The owner becomes eligible for restoration and maintenance grants. A building must be a provincially-designated Registered Heritage Structure prior to submission of a grant application.
  2. A plaque, owned by Heritage NL, will be placed on the building that tells of its historical significance.
  3. The structure is listed on the Provincial Register of Historic Places.
