Christchurch’s heritage buildings are being celebrated and promoted with a new initiative launched in the city this week. Arts also has another reason for wanting a blue plaque. She said Cera was too quick to demolish heritage buildings after the earthquakes, and she believed if there was a blue plaque on it, then maybe next time they might hesitate. Historic Places Canterbury chairman Mark Gerrard said he hoped the plaque would be the first of many in the city. Owners of heritage-listed or historically-significant buildings can contact Historic Places Canterbury if they are interested in a plaque.
