Tay Valley Council submits the following comments about Schedule 7 of Bill 5 – Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.

Proposed Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act - would, “allow for exemptions to archaeological requirements where it could potentially advance a provincial priority”. “The amendments would include an authority to establish, in regulation, criteria that must be met for a property to be eligible for an exemption.”

Until the regulations are established it is unknown what the full effect will be. However, Tay Valley Township states that as part of municipalities' Truth and Reconciliation commitments, the Township would not support removing the requirement for archaeological studies.
