Our inheritance of architecture, cultural landscapes, and material culture is an irreplaceable asset and resource. In Ontario, the task of conserving our inheritance of historically and architecturally significant properties is primarily a municipal matter. The Ontario Heritage Act provides a framework whereby municipalities can ensure the conservation of these properties and encourage citizen participation in the process. Those interested usually make application to Council following notice of vacancy in the local newspaper. The Committee's function is generally to advise Council on local heritage matters and to assist the Council to carry out its heritage conservation program.
