Background
Steveston Village Conservation Strategy is designed to protect the exteriors of 18 identified heritage buildings within the Village. It will provide for the retention of small lot sizes, streetscape features and existing views within the Village. Historic Moncton Street will receive special attention to preserve its character. Land uses in the Village will not be affected.
The strategy is supported by the principles of conservation, financial incentives and partnerships and was developed with community and property-owner consultation, as well as assistance from the Heritage Commission, heritage consultants and City staff.
