Comment
I am strongly opposed to the portions of Bill 23 that would significantly weaken the Ontario Heritage Act and undo years of work put in by volunteers from across the province over the past 20 years.
The proposal to require listed properties to be designated within 2 years or lose their listed status will not advance the government's agenda of "building more homes faster", but will weaken a key part of the heritage tool kit that offers a measure of protection for properties having significant cultural heritage value.
I speak from experience as a qualified heritage professional with many years of experience serving on a municipal heritage committee, as well as provincial heritage organizations.
