The proposed changes in Bill 23 threaten our heritage but won’t lead to more truly affordable or attainable housing - this is simply a misguided attempt, which will lead to irreversible erosions in heritage and land conservation policy. Read more

re Proposed Changes to the Ontario Heritage Act and its regulations: Bill 23 (Schedule 6) I can understand how heritage designations can annoy someone who wants to develop a property. And yes our growing population needs homes. But we must not destroy our heritage! Read more
