The Heritage Conservation unit provides a rehabilitation grant of up to 50% of eligible costs to a maximum of $75,000 in matching grants. In order to maximize the $75,000 grant, an owner would have to undertake a minimum of $150,000 in eligible rehabilitation work.
It is highly recommended that owners email the Heritage Conservation Unit prior to any rehabilitation work being undertaken.
As designated Municipal Historic Resources, the Wîhkwêntôwin (Oliver) Heritage Buildings are legally protected from demolition or inappropriate alteration. Owners are required to undertake the proper rehabilitation of the buildings, in accordance with the applicable Designation Bylaw and the Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada, and to the satisfaction of the Heritage Conservation Unit.
After the initial rehabilitation work is completed, an owner is eligible to access maintenance grants from the City on a 5-year cycle. These grants address the maintenance of the identified historic elements of the building, and are up to 1/3 of eligible costs, to a maximum of $10,000 in matching grants.

On February 21, 2024, City Council accepted a new name for the former Oliver community: Wîhkwêntôwin ᐄᐧᐦᑫᐧᐣᑑᐃᐧᐣ. Pronounced We-Kwen-To-Win, the name is a nêhiyawêwin (Cree) word which means Circle of Friends.
The name was chosen after an almost three-year process started by the Wîhkwêntôwin Community League and led by a working circle made of diverse members of the community including Elders and representatives from different backgrounds. The Renaming Circle included many Indigenous community leaders and representatives and was guided by two Indigenous Elders.
Council also agreed to rename the City-owned assets, including the park, skating rink and community league building in the neighbourhood. It’s expected to take at least a year to implement this name change for the City and other stakeholders, like EPCOR, Land Titles and Canada Post.
Following the Indigenous Framework, which guides our reconciliation journey, the City of Edmonton is committed to creating safe and welcoming spaces for Indigenous Peoples, and ensuring that they can see themselves reflected in city spaces.
