I am very concerned about…

I am very concerned about the flaws contained in the proposed Bill 23. The current Conservative government did not campaign on these changes and are poised to make important decisions without proper consultation. Michael Ford does not have the experience, education, or training to properly understand what the impact new changes to the Ontario Heritage Act in Bill 23, Schedule 6 will have on the heritage of Ontario. Standards and Guidelines have been carefully drafted by experts and should not be ignored now. Once heritage buildings, statues, and ruins have been destroyed it is permanent. One of the reasons I moved to Cobourg 12 years ago was because of the architecture of the buildings, both public and private. Please respect our architecture and don’t make our town look like every other small town. Heritage matters. Please do not go forward with Bill 23.
