NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT FOR SUNDAY MARCH 15TH WORKSHOPS.

Hello

After much consideration and with the events and cancellations that have taken place over the past 48 hours in regards to the corona virus, we have decided that it would be best for us to reschedule this Sunday’s workshop until a later date rather than to put our attendees at risk.

We will be in touch with a new date once everything has settled.

Best wishes Dr. Christopher Cooper

We are searching for motivated individuals to change their lives with a new and exciting career in heritage maintenance. Courses start in April, 2020 to teach the arts of heritage restoration and preservation on a small scale. There is a total lack of skilled heritage professionals who perform small job maintenance on the vast stock of older homes across Canada.

The student intern needs to be very flexible with weekday, evening and weekends courses at various itinerant campus locations in Southwestern Ontario. There will also be distance learning courses the student intern can take online.

Hands-on training is the only way to prepare the student intern to become an Edifice Guild trained Heritage Maintenance professional. We teach hands on, and our philosophy is the only way to learn all aspects of the Heritage Maintenance program is to get your hands dirty and learn from our highly experienced educators on a heritage site in Southwestern Ontario.

Register now for our FREE Information and Interview Session for April 2020 intake.
