Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

The November meeting of Heritage Guelph was split between process and designations. Guess which side had the more controversy?! At issue was an update to the changes to the Advisory Committees of Council, and though staff weren’t proposing many changes for Heritage Guelph, there were some members of the committee that wanted to cross all the T’s and dot all the I’s before council grants their approval.

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

It’s going to be a busy slate for the Heritage Guelph meeting this November with changes, plans, designations, and maybe even a hint of conflict (?). Yes, there are new designations and future designations to consider, as usual, but there’s also the year-long plan to designate as many properties as possible and that massive designation project, the Heritage Conservation District study of the OR Lands. But wait, there’s more… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Guelph Meeting for November 4, 2024” →

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

It was a pretty straightforward meeting of Heritage Guelph this October, and it even had an obligatory stop at the cemetery. The most controversial item on the agenda, even mildly, was planned repairs to the retaining wall along the river at The Boathouse, which is one of those instances where legal requirements trump heritage ones. But that’s not the last word on this meeting, so to see what you missed, check out this recap! Continue reading “RECAP: Heritage Guelph Still Has Issues with Wall Repairs” →

Heritage Guelph’s October meeting will be light on new designations, but still full of heritage preservation issues. From the wall along with the river near the Boathouse to a new multiuse trail that will go through Guelph’s most famous cemetery, and from a well known set of row houses in the north end to a very different house style in the south end, there’s a lot on the agenda to satisfy your divergent heritage tastes.

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

It’s “Back to School” time for Heritage Guelph, though there’s really nothing related to school on this month’s agenda.
