Heritage Register:

PUBLIC INFORMATION SESSION

Heritage Register for Halton Hills

Council for the Town of Halton Hills wishes to inform all residents and business owners of a project that the Town is undertaking to identify properties of heritage value in order to update its’ Heritage Register. Residents and business owners are invited to attend a public information session to obtain information on the process and the proposed additions to the Register, as part of Phase 1 of a multi-phase project.

The Heritage Register as specified in the Ontario Heritage Act is intended to assist municipalities in identifying their heritage resources, and is not the same as designation under the Ontario Heritage Act, in which a permit would be required for alterations to the heritage features of the property. Listing on the Heritage Register is an important heritage conservation tool, which allows the Town the ability to consider all options, ranging from proceeding to designation to removing the property from the Register.

The Public Open House will include a brief formal presentation at 7:00 p.m., followed by a question period. Display boards will contain information to provide a context for the public to ask questions and engage in discussion with Town staff.

ALL INTERESTED CITIZENS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND

DATE/TIME: Thursday January 28, 2010, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Presentation at 7:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Council Chambers, Civic Centre, 1 Halton Hills Drive, Georgetown
FILE NO: R01/HE Heritage Register
