Heritage Advisory Committee
|
|
Our built heritage is one of our most tangible reminders of our
past. Municipal Council understands its importance these buildings have on the
fabric of the community. This is one of the reasons why we have a special
committee specifically dedicated to the preservation of our registered built
heritage.
The
Heritage Advisory Committee makes recommendations to council in regards to
heritage designations and substantial alterations to registered properties. The
committee consists of six members, two councillors and four citizen
representatives.
The chairperson of the committee is Councillor Maritza Adam, and Councillor
Randall Amero complete the council representations. The citizen representatives
are: Vice Committee Chair Andrena Teed, Frank Marshall & Elsa Young. Each
citizen representative is asked to sit on the committee for a two-year term.
The committee meets as needed on council's request.

In 1998 the Municipality conducted an inventory of potential
heritage properties in the District. The inventory identified approximately 500
properties. This historical document is important to all citizens in the
Municipality. It is a record of the life history of communities, from their
early development to the present. The Inventory is the first heritage property
inventory to be collected in a digital format in the Province.
These
properties can be viewed at local libraries, schools and on the Heritage
Property CD that is now available thought your local museums. Council encourages
residence to explore their heritage and celebrate this special place we call
home.
