Canadian Heritage of Quebec

The Canadian Heritage of Quebec (CHQ) is a national non-profit, non-government organization dedicated to the conservation of heritage buildings and sites of historical or natural interest in Quebec.

CHQ is governed by a Board of Directors which is made up of volunteers. It finances its operations through the annual income it generates and also through donations from friends, public and foundations, and others interested in the conservation of heritage properties. The organization also receives support from governmental institutions for some of its conservation projects.

CHQ owns nearly 25 buildings and sites with many being classified as heritage sites. Most of these properties are available to visit or rent for summer holidays. The organization also has a large collection of objects and artifacts of all kinds and sizes, which have cultural, artistic or heritage value.
