The Prince of Wales Prize for Municipal Heritage Leadership, presented by the National Trust of Canada, is awarded to municipalities that demonstrate a strong and sustained commitment to the conservation of historical places.
The local government who wins the award must have a record of supporting heritage preservation through such means as regulation, policies, funding and exemplary stewardship. Created in 1999, the prize reflects His Royal Highness’ commitment to architecture, the environment, and inner-city renewal.
