Join Willowbank School of Restoration Arts for our Virtual Open House on Tuesday, March 31 at 8:00 PM EST and discover a one-of-a-kind approach to heritage conservation education.
This is the perfect opportunity to explore our Heritage Conservation Diploma, hear directly from alumnus Garrett France-Wyllie, and learn more about student life and career pathways—just as we celebrate the 20th year of our program.
At Willowbank, education extends far beyond traditional classroom learning. Our distinctive model brings together the hands, head, and heart—combining hands-on applied learning with rigorous academic study in an extraordinary setting: a 13-acre National Historic Site in Queenston, Ontario.
What sets Willowbank apart is our faculty. More than 50 instructors come directly from industry, bringing real-world expertise into every aspect of the program. Their knowledge ensures that heritage skills are actively practiced, preserved, and passed on to the next generation of conservation professionals. There is nothing else like the Willowbank model in North America.
We are currently accepting applications for our September 2026 intake and encourage anyone interested in heritage conservation to explore this unique program.
We also welcome in-person visits—there is no better way to experience Willowbank than walking the grounds and seeing the work firsthand.

Please feel free to share this opportunity with anyone who may be interested.
