Ottawa, ON – June 11, 2010 – SAVING PLACES, the new TV series that documents hands-on restoration of some of Canada’s most endangered and historically significant buildings, premieres Saturday evening at 7pm ET, on History Television.

Three hosts, architect Angus Skene, restoration expert Chris Borgal and apprentice Daniel Beeston will take you through each episode, riding through the highs and lows of the restoration process.

The first episode takes places at the Church of The Holy Cross in Skatin, BC. The all-wood cathedral has been at the heart of the local native community for over 100 years, but needs a new foundation before it falls down and is lost forever.

SAVING PLACES is produced by PTV Productions in association with History Television with the participation of Rogers Cable Network Fund and the Canadian Television Fund. The Saving Places website is produced by The Heritage Canada Foundation in association with PTV Productions.
