Part IV - Conservation of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest |
The Ontario Heritage Act enables municipalities to designate properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. Once a property is designated, it gains public recognition as well as a measure of protection from demolition or unsympathetic alteration. Designation helps to guide future changes to the property so that the heritage attributes of the property can be maintained. The Ministry of Culture website's Designating Heritage Properties in Ontario describes the purposes of, process involved and benefits derived from Heritage Act designation. Part IV designation specifically applies to individual properties. Additional Links: |
