The National Trust for Canada[2] has released its 2018 Top 10 Endangered Places List[3], which spotlights historic places at risk due to neglect or lack of funding. The Canadian Construction Association[4] is the sponsor for this list.

“Our member companies contribute so much to their communities. The buildings and places they construct make a difference in people’s lives. They have likely built some of the buildings featured on the 2018 Top 10 Endangered Places List or live closeby,” said Zey Emir, CCA chair. “Helping the National Trust for Canada shed light on these places is a great way to celebrate CCA’s centennial. We encourage our members and the public to check the 2018 list to see if a nearby or otherwise cherished place is on the list and see how they can help save places that matter.”

The Top 10 Endangered Places List is compiled from nominations as well as reports and news items the National Trust followed throughout the year. First published in 2005, the annual list includes a wide range of places in danger, from community landmarks and heritage districts to sacred Indigenous landscapes and architectural and engineering icons.

The 2018 List includes:
