This session will be focused on recent changes to heritage and planning legislation in Ontario prompted by a housing crisis, and the impacts of these changes at the local municipal level. Perspectives and case studies from both municipal and private heritage experts will provide insights and tools applicable to communities outside of Ontario as well. Speakers will cover how to approach the heritage evaluation of properties, the protection of properties through heritage conservation districts, and the concept of whole-building retention within the context of a housing crisis and the challenges of climate change, gentrification and the displacement of vulnerable communities.

Learning Objectives:

  • Interpret Ontario's recently updated provincial legislation and determine how to implement these policies in the most effective and consistent way for your community.
  • Identify the current challenges and successes of heritage evaluation and conservation from the perspectives of both the municipal planner and the private consultant.
  • List case studies on how to successfully retain whole heritage buildings in the midst of a housing crisis.
  • Examine how to conserve cultural heritage while addressing climate action, gentrification, displacement, and challenges facing diverse and vulnerable communities.
