The ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University Heritage Conservation Symposium is a one-day event organized by graduate students, alumni, and faculty at the School of Canadian Studies and the Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism. The event brings together students, academics and professionals in critical practice.

The annual event began in 2004 under the direction of the late Herb Stovel, who was at that time Associate Professor at the School and coordinator of the Heritage Conservation Program. Since then, the Symposium has been held on topics such as heritage designation, multivocal heritage practices, heritage and technology, borders in heritage conservation, and most recently, heritage and social justice. 

The Herb Stovel Memorial Lecture is often organized in conjunction with the Symposium. More information on the annual lecture is available.
