On November 10 Council agenda there is a report recommending that Council direct staff to remove the subject property (Dufferin) from the municipal heritage register to enable the demolition of the four buildings on the property. I drive by this property quite frequently and have wondered about its history. Now I know: it was part of the early agricultural and industrial activity within the Township. There was once a cheese factory on the property which was demolished in 1914. Other buildings on the site have had different functions over the decades. But, all of them are derelict and falling down. The story, the history of this property is important and I hope that this is something which will be captured/documented by our Museum. I agree with the recommendation that at this stage it does not merit designation and that demolition is appropriate. To see photos of the current state go to council agenda and scroll down to 11.3
As always deputations can be made. To do so please register at clerks@king.ca by noon on November 10 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.
