Ontario Heritage Conference 2012 in Kingston promises a satisfying get-away for enhancement of learning about heritage conservation and entertaining side trips to historic sites.

We wanted to give you an early reminder to register for this impressive schedule of workshops, scenic tours and speakers who are accomplished in their callings.

With your full conference registration you receive two $15 restaurant vouchers as part of your registration payment, and one of the major dinner events also is included. Registering before May 1st reduces it by 10%, from $325 to $275.

This May 31 - June 3 conference is under the auspices of Community Heritage Ontario and the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, and is organized by the Frontenac Heritage Foundation. The conference also is supported by the City of Kingston and many generous sponsors.

We've negotiated special accommodation rates at the new waterfront Marriott Hotel, one of the presentation venues, and within walking distance of the other venues.

Meet your friends, and network with leading heritage achievers at Ontario Conference 2012. Its hub is 1841 Kingston City Hall and its elegant Memorial Hall, where Sir John A. Macdonald, the first Prime Minister, observes proceedings from his 8-foot-high pose on the West Wall. The prototype of today's Ontario Heritage Act was conceived in Kingston in 1970.
