1. The definition of ‘protected heritage property’ as it currently reads is too narrow. Policy 4.6.1 for instance suggests that only ‘protected heritage properties' should be conserved. This neglects to recognize other significant cultural heritage resources in Ontario including for example properties listed on the Municipal Heritage Register under Section 27 of the Ontario Heritage Act or Designated National Historic Sites. It also fails to recognize that archaeological resources are not necessarily “known”.
2. The definition of ‘adjacent lands’ as it stands pertains only to lands contiguous to a protected heritage property. This once again fails to recognize other significant cultural heritage resources but also restricts municipalities from further defining adjacency through an Official Plan.
3. While I support the change to Section 4.6.5 I also recognize this policy does not provide any guidance on the process or requirements of engagement. Additionally, the proposed change will require capacity at each Indigenous community.
