Good Morning, The Ontario…

Good Morning,

The Ontario Heritage Act is designed to protect land and buildings that connect us to our past to allow us to intelligently move toward the future. Evaluating our heritage is difficult because not all parties have the same views or connections. The municipal governments and the people in those municipalities should have the chance to control how long it takes to decide how best to preserve that heritage. It should not be decided by higher tier government that is often not connected to the heritage just to be faster. The reason for the Heritage Act is to slow to process of development for people to stop and think because once something is demolished or changed it is permanent.
