Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

This November meeting of the Heritage Advisory Committee will look to the future in some key ways. There’s not a lot in new heritage designations, but there will be some discussion of future designations, and some discussion about a future Official Plan amendment and its impacts on heritage work, a potential demolition of a (sorta) heritage asset and a mistake made in the minutes of a previous meeting. Let’s get into the preview… Continue reading “MEETING PREVIEW: Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting for November 6, 2025” →

There’s not as much action at October’s Heritage Advisory Committee as you might expect as we’re counting down to the deletion of all properties listed on the heritage registry. Still, one proposed designation has made the cut for discussion while a property owner living in the city’s one current heritage district wants to make some changes.

Plus, there are at least a couple of new designations warming up in the bullpen, which is a warm-up for a tonne of work coming in the fall.

RECAP: New Heritage Advisory Committee Gets Oriented

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

For the first time, the Heritage Advisory Committee met. Yes, there are some old faces from the old Heritage Guelph days (which was one month ago), but there were also some new ones. In this initial meeting not a lot of actual heritage protection got done, but there was a lot of expectation setting and discussion about what the powers of this slightly rejiggered heritage committee can do.

New name, old committee. As previously reported, there weren’t many changes made to the operation of Heritage Guelph, but since this is kind of the first meeting of a new committee, we take a break from the seemingly non-stop series of designations these last few months and get into some orientation. Sit back, relax, and get ready to learn all about this new Heritage Advisory Committee from the basement to the rafters!
