Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia

[1] It was founded in 1959, "in response to the proposed demolition of Enos Collins's Halifax House Gorsebrook," a Georgian-style home that once stood on the present site of Saint Mary's University hockey rink.

[1] The Trust has advocated for and assisted in the conservation of numerous heritage buildings and districts in Nova Scotia.

The Trust's offices are located in the Thomas Boggs / Lawrence Hartshorne House at 55 Ochterloney Street in the city of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

[11] In July 2019, the Heritage Trust of Nova Scotia appealed a decision by Halifax and West Community Council to approve a nine-storey addition to the building.
