What the status means

Designated by by-law under the Ontario Heritage Act. The City's register layer does not say whether individually (Part IV) or as part of a district (Part V); the City's heritage staff can say what approval a change needs.

Whether a specific alteration needs a heritage permit is the City’s call; ask its heritage planning staff before starting work. The designating by-law (117-2001) sets out what is protected; the City can provide it.
