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 seven members, three councillors and four
citizen representatives. The chairperson of the committee is Randall Amero,
and Councillor Angela Lombard complete the Council representations. The citizen
representatives are: Vice Committee Chair Maritza Adams, Frank Marshall; Andrena
Teed and Nora Peach. 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 This historical document is important to all citizens in the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.
