To whom it may concern,
The new Provincial Planning Statement is yet another way that this government is trying to weaken the protection of cultural heritage in Ontario.
I live in Port Hope and we are proud of our Main Street and the surrounding area which boasts many fine examples of heritage architecture. We want to preserve the past to build the future.
In these days of climate change and global warming we should be keeping and reusing our older buildings to reduce our carbon footprint. Adaptive reuse rather than demolition.
This new policy shows no regard for older buildings which could potentially be designated.
I find the new Provincial Planning Statement very shortsighted and am very concerned and disappointed in its possible development.
