PROTECT VIEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE, SYMBOL OF OUR DEMOCRATIC HERITAGE

| Heritage Conservation District Study Summary Report |
Heritage Districts Work! – Reports Now Available
A major project on Heritage Conservation Districts (HCDs) undertaken by the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario is now complete. The purpose of the project was to examine 32 HCDs created before 1992 and determine whether they were meeting their goals. The answer is a resounding yes – Heritage Conservation Districts work!
ACO partnered with several other volunteer groups to carry out the study, including Community Heritage Ontario and the Heritage Resources Centre (HRC) at the University of Waterloo.
The study was funded by a grant from the Trillium Foundation. We are pleased to thank them for their generous support.
