Boards and Sub-Committees
Citizen committees provide Council and staff with input about a wide variety of subjects through discussions, presentations and recommendations. Some committees also organize and participate in community events. Becoming a member of a citizen committee offers residents a unique chance to volunteer their highly valued skills and knowledge to strengthen our shared sense of community. We value and applaud the citizens who participate on these committees!

Heritage Property Designation
| Why Designate A Heritage Property? |
| 1. |
To recognize its heritage value.
We value the historical, architectural, cultural and natural heritage of our communities. In order to tangibly recognize this value, properties are designated and a register of designated properties is kept by the County. |
| 2. |
To preserve its heritage characteristics.
Designation helps to preserve the property so that it may be appreciated and enjoyed by future generations. |
| 3. |
To gain local, Provincial and National recognition of the heritage property.
Every designated property is registered with the Ontario Ministry of Culture and is entered into the Ontario Heritage Properties Database which is fully accessible by the public. In addition, every designated property is eligible for inclusion in the Government of Canada's Canadian Register of Historic Places. |
| 4. |
To access financial assistance.
Only designated heritage properties will be able to access government programs of financial assistance for preservation and restoration purposes. |
| 5. |
Designation does NOT:
• impose additional expenses on the owner
• prohibit building alterations or additions
• forbid demolition of a heritage building
• negatively affect the resale value of the property |
| The Designation Process: |
| 1. |
An individual property owner or group of citizens contacts PEHAC, or the County planning department or County council will a proposal to designate a property. |
| 2. |
PEHAC undertakes an assessment of the property's heritage value and prepares a report containing the possible reasons for designation. |
| 3. |
The form, Request for Heritage Designation, is completed by the property owner and submitted to the County Planning Department. |
| 4. |
Once PEHAC recommends designating the property, County Council votes on the recommendation. |
| 5. |
If the recommendation is accepted, the property owner is informed and a "Notice of Intention to Designate" is published in the local newspaper. |
| 6. |
If there are no objections from the public within 30 days of the Notice, County Council is able to enact a by-law designating the property. |
| 7. |
The by-law is registered at the Land Registry office, the owner of the property is notified, and an announcement is published in the local newspaper. |
| 8. |
Any major alterations to a designated property must be approved by PEHAC, the County Planning Department, and County Council. |
