Challinor Assists With Local Home Ontario Heritage Act Designations

 

Working with Town of Milton Planning Department staff, Milton Historical Society and Nasigaweya Historical Society, Milton Ward 2 Local Councillor John Challinor II has helped to encourage more than 40 local homeowners to designate their homes under the Ontario Heritage Act.

 

Such a designation will prevent these historically important buildings from being demolished.

 

And, given that there are about 140 key historical properties locally and almost 1,100 historical buildings overall, the response from the owners of these homes is significant. If all of these homes are approved for designation under the Act by the end of 2025, the number of designated properties in Milton will have more than doubled by that time.

 

At the beginning of 2024, there were about 37 local buildings designated under the Act. CR
