The Ontario Heritage Act enables municipalities to designate all or part of a community as a Heritage Conservation District. This protects and enhances groups of properties or neighbourhoods that give an area special character. The Ontario Heritage Act was amended in 2005 to allow properties of cultural heritage value or interest to be added to the municipal register of listed properties. 

Please visit your city or township's website for further information on applying for a heritage listing, designation or permit.
