Please find enclosed Sifton Properties Limited’s (here in known as “Sifton”) review and comment
regarding proposed changes through Bill 23, More Homes Built Faster Act, to the Ontario Heritage Act.
We are, generally, in support of the proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act. We have concerns
regarding subsections 29 (1.2) and 41 (1) of the act. We request that the Ministry provide greater clarity
as to the definition of a “prescribed event”, with regards to subsection 29 (1.2), and that the Ministry
consider removal of the ability for council to designate an entire municipality as a heritage conversation
district, with regards to subsection 41 (1). The ability to designate an entire municipality as a heritage
conservation district may impact opportunity for development or re-development, hindering the ability
to meet the Province’s goal of 1.5 million homes over the next ten years.
