On April 14 Council agenda there is a staff report  recommending that Council initiate the process for designating the Schomberg Presbyterian Church at 313 Main St.  As reviewed in the report the subject property meets the minimum threshold of historic/ssociative, design/physical, and contextual value criteria under Ontario regulation 9/06.  To read the thorough cultural heritage review and to see archival images and maps go to the Council agenda and scroll down to 8.4.    I am very pleased to see that we’re finally taking action to protect our historic buildings which have cultural/historic value by designating them.  This one in particular is very satisfying as the property owners requested assessment of its value to determine if it merited designation.

As always deputations can be made. To do so please register at clerks@king.ca by noon on  April 14 or If you prefer you can e-mail your comments to clerks@king.ca and they will be distributed to Council members and appropriate staff.
