Biographical history

André Scheinman, a Heritage Preservation Consultant, was born in Toronto in 1952. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto (B.A.) and U. of T’s Faculty of Education (B.Ed.). Growing up with a deep love of nature/wilderness he worked as a canoe guide for a camp in Algonquin Park from 1971 – 1975 and also traveled extensively throughout the world during that period. Writing poetry from an early age, his work was included in an anthology of Toronto poets published by House of Anansi Press (T.O. Now,1969).

Deepening interest in historic/traditional structures and built-form, and, what is now often referred to as cultural landscapes led to enrollment in 1978 in an innovative program developed by the federal government (using the campus/facilities of St. Lawrence College, Brockville) which was designed to produce graduates with the range of interdisciplinary skills and understanding of the underlying principles to responsibly preserve our historic sites and built heritage. In 1980, upon graduation, André received the first annual Association of Preservation Technology (APT, now APTI) Award of Excellence for Student Achievement in a North American University or College preservation program.

Having worked as a professional consultant in the preservation of heritage sites, structures and cultural heritage landscapes for almost 30 years André has undertaken a wide range of projects including many national historic sites. André is a founding member of the Canadian Association of Heritage Preservation Consultants (now CAHP), and is a twenty-nine year member of both the Association for Preservation Technology (APT) and the International Committee on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). He was honoured by ICOMOS in 1998 for his contribution to international conservation in reference to his involvement with the international delegation (1988) to the then Soviet Union toward the conservation of the World Heritage Site at Kisi.
