Traduction de «édifice du patrimoine » (Français → Anglais) :

The Commission has been implementing, jointly with the Council of Europe, a regional programme to protect cultural heritage in South East Europe covering to date 177 buildings and sites.

Currently, the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office, or FHBRO, is charged with evaluating our federally owned buildings that are 40 years old or older, and deciding whether they should have heritage status.

For example, since FHBRO has already examined over 200 of Canada's lighthouses, of which 120 have been classified as designated heritage buildings, would the passing of this bill mean that the Minister of Heritage would have to re- examine all of the buildings that are already designated as heritage buildings, or would those buildings automatically retain their designation?

L. whereas tourism is sustained by the conservation and improvement of the local heritage, natural and cultural, material and non-material, and of historic buildings,

I. whereas in 1994, in the context of the global strategy adopted by the World Heritage Committee, a number of imbalances were identified on the World Heritage List, including the over-representation of the European continent in relation to the rest of the world, the over-representation of historic towns and religious buildings as compared with other categories, the over-representation of Christianity in relation to other religions and beliefs, the over-representation of historic periods in relation to prehistory and the 20 century, and finally the over-representation of "elitist" as opposed to vernacular architecture,

Equally important, in my view, is Europe's awareness, as the report states, that it is over-represented on the World Heritage list and that this over-representation applies both to historic towns and to religious buildings, as compared with other categories of countries, to Christianity in relation to other religions and beliefs and to ‘elitist’ as opposed to vernacular architecture.
