The Municipality of Trent…

The Municipality of Trent Hills has an active Heritage Advisory Committee which promotes information about Heritage properties within the community. A swell as a number of designated properties we have an extensive Heritage Register. The municipality introduced a Heritage Recognition program the acknowledge properties from the register where the owner has an expressed an interest. Many of these properties are recognized for both the historic and architectural elements that they possess.

It is the position of the municipality that designation of a property and listing on the register are tools that work together under the Heritage Act to protect and enhance heritage in the community. The requirement to designated properties on the register or remove them from the register is not supported as the current policy framework has proved successful within Trent Hills and has not impeded development but rathe has allowed for enhancement of heritage properties.
