Comment

As a heritage professional, I want to reiterate these three points for the Ministry's consideration:
1) The Ontario Heritage Toolkit needs to be revised given the changes to the Ontario Heritage Act and these proposed changes.
2) The definition of “Protected Heritage Property” is too narrow, notably it does not include properties on the municipal heritage register, Designated National Historic Sites and Federally-owned properties designated by the Federal Heritage Buildings Review Office.
3) The definition of “Adjacency” to contiguous properties restricts municipalities from further defining adjacency through an Official Plan.

Thank you,
