Township of Scugog Municipal Heritage Register
The Heritage Register is meant to be a celebration of the Township’s Heritage and
an example of all kinds of properties within the boundaries of the municipality that
are important to our community for architectural and historical reasons.
Recent changes to the Ontario Heritage Act and the Provincial Policy Statement
have put greater status on select cultural heritage resources, including property
identified as having cultural heritage value or interest, but not designated under
Parts IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Ontario Heritage Act was amended by Bill 60 in 2005. Previously, the Clerk of
a municipality was required to keep a register of properties formally designated
under the Act. Amendments through Bill 60 now allow municipalities to add
properties to the register that have not been designated under the Act but that a
municipal Council, through recommendations of Heritage Scugog, believes to be of
cultural heritage value or interest.
The inclusion of non-designated properties on the Registry provides interim
protection for sites undergoing change by requiring landowners to provide the
Township with at least 60 days notice of their intention to demolish or remove a
building or structure on the property. This notice period allows the Township to
make a well informed decision about whether long term protection of the property
should be sought through the formal designation process.
Any person or organization in the Township of Scugog may nominate a property to
Heritage Scugog, the Township of Scugog’s Heritage Committee, to undergo an
assessment of its cultural heritage value or interest. Site visits are often a part of
this process. Once the cultural heritage attributes have been assessed and
recorded, Heritage Scugog may make recommendation to Council that the property
be included on the Municipal Register.
At its meeting held Oct 1, 2007 Committee received Report PR&C-2007-30 to
establish a Heritage Register. The Heritage Register was adopted through Report
CORP-2008-22-CNC at the March 31, 2008 Council Meeting.
