The Saskatchewan Legislative Building Dome Conservation project in Regina was a highly complex structure with extremely ornate stone elements and decorative copper finishes requiring some of the most skilled conservation and restoration work anywhere in North America.

The project was some 3 years in the planning and design stages and took over 2 years to complete requiring over 50,000 hours of multiple skilled trades, conservators and professionals.

The building and surrounding grounds are designated as a National Historic Site of Canada, with significance to Canada’s 150th anniversary.
