concerns about the proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act.

Building more homes to serve the growing population should not come at the expense of green standards and not at the expense of saving Heritage properties. Ontario attracts people because of quality of life and culture. Building more without maintaining and increasing these qualities is shortsighted and will create irreversible consequences.

Forcing municipalities to designate all listed properties within 2 years or drop them from the Register is draconian and totally unrealistic. It will result in tens of thousands of listed sites losing what little protection they have.
