The BC Association for Heritage Professionals (BCAHP) online directory has contact information for professionals across BC and their areas of specialty.
If you are specifically searching for tradespeople, the Vancouver Heritage Foundation has compiled a list of professionals available upon request. If you are based outside of the lower mainland, you can reach out to us with your query and we can provide you with contacts in your region. In both cases, for reasons of insurance and liability, our organizations cannot recommend a tradesperson, but you can choose to reach out to the contacts on our lists at your own discretion and responsibility.
