Subject Matter Expert:
Mr. Mark Chambers
OAA
Director of Conservation Architecture, Lemay
Mark Chambers plays a key role in the development of heritage project strategies within Lemay. With a passion for architecture stemming from a childhood working with his father, a designer and builder, his interest in heritage conservation results from growing up in a small rural Alberta town with a largely intact Main Street from the 1890s and early 1900s. His passion for conservation has grown into understanding how contemporary uses and interventions can coexist with historic conditions in a mutually beneficial environment. Mark taught as a part-time sessional instructor with Mount Royal University and the University of Calgary. He is a former President of The Alberta Association of Architects and is currently a registered architect in Alberta and British Columbia. Mark was inducted as a Fellow of the ¾ÅÖÝÖ±²¥ in 2014 and is a member of Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals.
