I protest Bill 108. I am horrified to think of a return to the OMB. This bill is not about streamlining changes to the planning process. It is about gutting the GTA and permitting rampant uncontrolled development, all for the benefit of developers. Read more

We are greatly concerned by the proposed changes to the Ontario Heritage Act. The changes undermine community planning and control and give authority to an unelected body (LPAT) with no heritage expertise. None of this is consistent with "conservative" values. Read more

I care deeply for our heritage buildings. I am not pleased with this bill which appears to weaken the voice of local communities and Council, and empower developers. Unless I am persuaded otherwise, with proper consultation on this legislation, I will oppose it. Read more

The Conservation Review Board performs a very useful function in acting as court of last resort for both preservationist and the demolition industry. In the past many heritage resources were demolished in a forlorn hope in an appeal to cabinet. Read more

The appeals process should be less costly. So someone who is an individual homeowner than a large builder could also financially afford to appeal unfair decisions made by the city staff. Read more

Decisions pertinent to heritage designation and related planning should be left to the municipal heritage committees. They have the expertise to make these decisions and provide guidelines. Heritage and its preservation of our history and community are imperative. Read more

Heritage designations are key to democracy; when citizens wish to protect the character of their neighbourhoods, and city planners decide those are in the general interest, the province should support those designations, certainly not undermine them. Read more

Bill 108 should not be passed. The changes to the Ontario Heritage Act will substantially weaken a municipality's ability to protect historic buildings for properties. This should not be a Provincial decision.
