With 10 years dealing directly with heritage properties in Nova Scotia, he has developed his expertise in the administration of Nova Scotia’s Heritage Property Act and provides advice on the conservation of designated heritage properties.

The Halifax resident holds degrees in business, environmental design and architecture along with a Masters in urban and rural planning.

The talk is set for 2 p.m. A storm day of Jan. 27 has been set for the talk. Meanwhile, the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia will hold a lecture Thursday in Halifax when Acadia university professor Susan Markham-Starr will look at The Halifax Common: 250 Years of Community Use. She will speak at the Museum of Natural History.
