Denis Boucher is president of the Conseil du patrimoine de Montréal. He is a historian. Involved in cultural heritage for 25 years as an expert, strategic advisor, communicator, teacher and project leader, his academic research has highlighted the impact of cultural heritage on local identities, an issue for which he still has a great interest through safeguarding movements, citizen involvement and the social dimension of heritage. He has been teaching heritage preservation strategies at the UQAM School of Design since 2011. He has been involved in the municipal sector in Quebec and Rivière-du-Loup where he developed and implemented the first municipal heritage policy in Quebec. Over the years, he has served on the commission des biens culturels du Québec (2007-2012), the Conseil du patrimoine culturel du Québec (2012-2020) and was employed by the Conseil du patrimoine religieux du Québec (2011-2017). More recently, he coordinated the development and implementation of the action plan for the application of the recommendations of the Auditor General of Quebec regarding the safeguarding and enhancement of real estate heritage for the ministère de la Culture et des Communications du Québec. Denis Boucher has been Chairman of the Conseil du patrimoine de Montréal since December 2022.
