A municipal or provincial historic resource is a heritage site that has been legally protected (designated) against demolition or major alterations under the Alberta Historical Resources Act. Designation is performed by a municipality or Alberta’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Designation does not affect activities in a building or on the property, it does not affect the ability to sell or purchase property and owners retain all their rights to the enjoyment of the property. Calgary also has a number of designated National Historic Sites.
