Whereas Puslinch Council remains significantly concerned with the legislative changes in Bill 23, in addition to comments previously submitted by Puslinch Council, Council resolved as follows;

Puslinch Council submits the following additional formal comments:

Proposed Changes to the Ontario Heritage Act and its regulations: Bill 23 (Schedule 6) - the Proposed
More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 ERO No. 019-6196;

Township of Puslinch Comments: The proposed changes would jeopardize retaining heritage buildings. The Township of Puslinch has serious concerns with the proposed changes as they will cause the loss of historical significant buildings. Given the time constraints for submitting fulsome comments, the Puslinch Council requests that an extension of time be granted in order to provide more detailed comments; and

In the event that an extension is not possible, that current properties on the Township of Puslinch Heritage Register be grandfathered and that any new proposed addition to the register adhere to the new legislative changes.
