Owners of heritage buildings in Delta may apply for support from the Heritage Conservation Grant Fund for repairs and restorations that would preserve and protect their heritage building. Grants are available for up to 50% of capital costs up to a maximum of $30,000. Repair or restoration means physical works, which may include structural improvements, exterior alterations, reinforcement, maintenance, fire protection, or security of the building.

To be considered for a heritage conservation grant, an owner must agree to place the building on Delta’s Heritage Register and agree to enter into a Section 219 Covenant to ensure maintenance of the building for a ten year period.
