Heritage Montreal’s 2010 Home Renovation Courses
For Immediate Release
New ! Course on Sustainable Development
Montreal, February 23 – Heritage Montreal’s announces the return of its popular Home Renovation Courses. The registration period is now open for this notable event in the world of residential renovation.
This year, we are pleased to announce the addition of a new trend-setting course to our core programme. Architect Ron Rayside and Emmanuel Cosgrove, senior evaluator for LEED Canada will introduce participants to the renovation and restoration practices that respect the environment in light of current sustainable development principles.
Taught by architects, engineers and other housing professionals, our courses are an ideal way for home owners and prospective buyers to learn what they need to know about maintaining, renovating and restoring homes of any age or architectural style.
Home owners are ideally placed to preserve the harmony and beauty of the built environment that make up much of our city’s charming neighbourhoods. Heritage Montreal has been giving these highly regarded courses since 1981. The courses look at routine problems and their causes and examine solutions that suit the different architectural features of various homes. Armed with the knowledge they need, homeowners go away feeling more confident about making the substantial financial commitments that their projects require.
For just $299, the series of eight thematic courses is offered in English at Dawson College every Thursday evening from March 25 to May 10 (note that the last course will be held on a Monday), and in French at Université de Montréal, 2940 Côte-Sainte-Catherine, every Tuesday evening from March 23 to May 11. Courses run from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. and will cover the following topics:
• Montreal residential architecture through history
• General home inspection
• Renovation planning and administration
• Foundations and structure
• Exterior walls, roofs and insulation
• Doors, windows and exterior woodwork
• Mechanical and electrical systems
