2016-09-20
Date: 2016-09-12
Subject: Heritage Permit Application – 19-25 Main Street North - Ward 1
(HE.x 19-25 Main Street North)
Contact: Stavroula Kassaris, Heritage Coordinator, Planning and
Development Services, 905-874-3825,
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Stavroula Kassaris, Heritage Coordinator, Planning and
Infrastructure Services, dated September 12, 2016, to the Brampton Heritage
Board Meeting of September 20, 2016, re: Heritage Permit Application -
Heritage Permit Application – 19-25 Main Street North - Ward 1 (HE.x 19-
25 Main Street North), be received; and,
2. That the Heritage Permit application for 19 - 25 Main Street North for the
façade improvement and wall reinforcement system be approved subject to
the following conditions:
a. That specifications and a sample of the new storefront material(s) be
submitted for review and approval by City staff;
b. That any window sills deteriorated beyond repair be replaced only with
exterior grade wood;
c. That the proposed decorative moulding below the sign band and above
the storefront windows and door be removed;
d. That the new sign band height matches the height of the adjacent sign
band at 15 Main Street North; and
e. That the anchor plates of the wall reinforcement system visible on the
front façade be painted to match the surrounding brick.
Overview:
The property at 19 - 25 Main Street North is designated under Part IV of
the Ontario Heritage Act.
10.1-1
In accordance with Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, alterations to
a designated property likely to affect its heritage attributes requires
written consent from the Council of the municipality in the form of a
Heritage Permit.
The City received a Heritage Permit application for 19 - 25 Main Street
North a façade improvement and wall reinforcement system.
The proposed works are associated with Downtown Brampton Façade
Improvement application P75CE FA15-002.
This report recommends the approval of the Heritage Permit application
subject to conditions set out herein.
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities by preserving and
protecting heritage environments with balanced, responsible planning.
Background:
The property at 19-25 Main Street North is located on the west side of Main Street
North, north of Queen Street, and contains a three-storey commercial building. The
property was designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act as a property of
cultural heritage value or interest by By-law 63-2009.
In accordance with Section 33 of the Ontario Heritage Act, alterations to a designated
property likely to affect its heritage attributes require written consent from the Council
of the municipality in the form of a Heritage Permit.
Current Situation:
The agent for 19-25 Main Street North submitted a Heritage Permit application to for
the installation of a new wall reinforcement system, as well as a façade improvement
that includes a new storefront, windows and doors, signage and lighting, the repair of
window sills, and the repainting of brick. The complete application was submitted on
September 6, 2016, and is included as Appendix A. In accordance with the Ontario
Heritage Act, Council must respond to the application by December 5, 2016.
The property owner retained Tacoma Engineers, an engineering firm experienced in
assessing historic masonry structures, to investigate the brick bulging exhibited on
the front façade. The engineer advised that the bulging is due to an ineffective tie
back system, and recommends the installation lateral restraint wall ties to secure the
wall. This wall retention system will introduce seven galvanized steel plates to the
front façade. It is recommended that these steel plates be painted to match the
colour of the brick in order to reduce their visual impact.
10.1-2
The new storefront proposed in the subject application replaces the non-original
storefront of the building, and complements the heritage character of the existing
structure. The existing windows are aluminum sash units and their removal and
replacement with new two-over-two sash windows will enhance the appearance if the
building and create uniformity with the attached property at 15 Main Street North. In
order to further improve the cohesiveness between the facades of 19-25 Main Street
North and 15 Main Street North, it is recommended that the proposed decorative
detail below the sign band be removed and the sign band height increased to align
with the sign band at 15 Main Street North.
It is also recommended that the cladding material for the new storefront be reviewed
and approved by City staff to ensure it is appropriate in both appearance and
function. In addition, the material of any replacement window sills should be exterior
grade wood to ensure consistency with the existing original window sills.
The proposed works are associated with Downtown Brampton Façade Improvement
application P75CE FA15-002.
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
None.
Other Implications:
No other implications have been identified.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities by preserving and protecting
heritage environments with balanced, responsible planning.
Conclusion:
The Heritage Permit application for 19-25 Main Street North proposes a façade
improvement that will enhance the appearance of the building, as well as structural
interventions that will maintain the historic brick. It is recommended that the Heritage
Permit be approved subject to several conditions.

location and size of patio doors and window openings. This work is not visible from
the public realm, and does not impact any heritage attributes or the cultural heritage
value of the Churchville Heritage Conservation District, and was exempted from the
Heritage Permit process.

Brampton Heritage Board The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2016-09-20
Date: 2016-09-09
Subject: Recommendation Report: Designation under Part IV, Section 29
of the Ontario Heritage Act - 164 & 166 Main Street North - Ward
1 (HE.x 164 - 166 Main Street North)
Contact: Stavroula Kassaris, Heritage Coordinator, Planning and
Development Services, 905-874-3825,
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Stavroula Kassaris, Heritage Coordinator, Planning and
Development Services, dated September 9, 2016, to the Brampton Heritage
Board Meeting of September 20, 2016, re: Recommendation Report:
Designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 164 &
166 Main Street North - Ward 1 (HE.x 164 - 166 Main Street North), be
received;
2. That designation of 164 & 166 Main Street North under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act as a property of cultural heritage significance, be approved;
3. That staff be authorized to publish and serve the Notice of Intention to
Designate in accordance with the requirements under the Ontario Heritage
Act;
4. That, if there are no objections to the designation in accordance with the

subject property;
5. That, if there are any objections in accordance with the provisions of the
Ontario Heritage Act, staff be directed to refer the proposed designation to the
Ontario Conservation Review Board; and,
6. That staff be authorized to attend the Conservation Review Board hearing
process in support of Council’s decision to designate the subject property.
10.3-1
Overview:
This report recommends that Council designate the properties at 164 &
166 Main Street North under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage
Act for its cultural heritage value.
Following research and evaluation by the City, it has been determined
that the properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North satisfy Ontario
Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal
designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the designation process
as required under the Ontario Heritage Act.
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities by preserving and
protecting heritage environments with balanced, responsible planning.
Background:
The properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North are located on the east side of Main
Street North, north of Church Street, and contain a two storey semi-detached
dwelling fronting Main Street North with parking at the rear. They are currently listed
on the City of Brampton’s Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Register.
The Ontario Heritage Act enables municipalities to pass by-laws to designate
properties of cultural heritage value or interest. Designation under Part IV of the Act
is a way of publically acknowledging a property’s value to a community, and ensures
the conservation of important places for the benefit and enjoyment of present and
future generations. It also allows municipalities to conserve and manage properties
through the Heritage Permit process enabled under Sections 33 (alterations) and 34
(demolition or removal) of the Act.
The properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North meet the criteria for designation
prescribed by the Province of Ontario under the Ontario Heritage Act, Regulation
9/06 for the categories of design/physical value and contextual value.
Current Situation:
The properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North have been evaluated using the
Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage Value or Interest, as defined in Regulation
9/06 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property has design/physical value and
10.3-2
contextual value, and should be designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage
Act.
The properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North have design/physical value as a
representative example of Georgian architecture with a high degree of craftsmanship.
In addition, the building represents a rare example of a semi-detached Georgian
residential dwelling in Brampton. The properties also have contextual value because
they maintain and support the character of the area.
The owners of the subject properties requested and support the designation, and
plan to incorporate the dwelling into the future redevelopment of the properties.
Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the designation process as required
under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Corporate Implications:
Financial Implications:
Upon designation, the property will become eligible for the City of Brampton’s
Designation Heritage Property Incentive Grant program, which offers funds to cover
half of the cost of eligible conservation work up to a maximum of $5,000, subject to
available funding, on the condition that the grant is matched by the property owner. A
property owner can apply for the grant once every two years. Properties designated
under the Ontario Heritage Act are also eligible for the highest grant amount of the
Façade and Building Improvement Programs, at $50,000 per program.
Other Implications:
No other implications have been identified.
Strategic Plan:
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities by preserving and protecting
heritage environments with balanced, responsible planning.
Conclusion:
The properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North are of cultural heritage value or
interest, sufficient to warrant designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. It
is recommended that they be designated under Part IV of the Act according to the
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest and Description of Heritage
10.3-3
Attributes included in Appendix A. Upon Council approval, staff will proceed with the
designation process as required under the Ontario Heritage Act.

2. Introduction
The properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North are worthy of designation under Part IV
of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value or interest. The properties
meet the criteria for designation prescribed by the Province of Ontario under the Ontario
Heritage Act, Regulation 9/06 for the categories of design/physical value, and
contextual value.
3. Description of Property
The properties at 164 & 166 Main Street North are located on the east side of Main
Street North, north of Church Street, and contain a two storey semi-detached dwelling
fronting Main Street North with parking at the rear.
4. Ownership History
The John Scott family sold Lots 91 and 92 (BR 2) to Thomas McIlroy in 1850, and the
subject building was likely built under his ownership in the 1850s. The Canada Directory
for 1857-58 notes T. McIlroy business enterprises as the Victoria steam cabinet, chair
and bedstead factory, upholstery and undertaking, and hearses for rent. Both Bristow &
Fitzgerald’s map (1857) and Tremaine’s map (1859) depict a building owned by
Thomas McIlroy in the location of 164 & 166 Main Street North. Tremaine’s map lists
McIlroy as a cabinet maker, undertaker, etc. McIlroy’s cabinet making factory is shown
to the east of the property on Alexander Street. According to land records, the
ownership of the two lots was transferred to members of the McIlroy family in 1864-65
through indentures.
After his death, Thomas’s wife, Elizabeth, sold Lots 91 and 92 to John Tilt in 1868. Tilt
was born in County Armagh in 1798. He emigrated to Canada in 1822, and settled on
Hurontario Street just north of Derry West. John is known to have operated a grocery
and liquor store out of his house, as well as an ashery that made lye, potash and
pearlash. In addition to his businesses in Derry West, he had a store in Westervelt’s
Corners and one in Toronto, as well as a law business. Tilt and his wife moved to the
property in Brampton in the late 1860s to early 1870s.
The Tilt family owned the property until 1886. From the Tilt’s the property passed first to
Elizabeth Clark and then to Duncan McConnell. Thomas Parr then acquired both lots in
1896, which he sold to local dentist Charles M. French in 1900. Charles and Margaret
French and family lived next door at 168 Main Street North. Charles French was a
significant individual, he taught school as a young man before becoming a successful
10.3-7
4
dentist and practicing in Brampton. He was Chairman of the High School Board,
President of the Board of Governors for the Peel Memorial Hospital, Postmaster of the
Ionic Lodge A.F. & A.M., First principal, Peel Chapter, R.A.M. I.O.O.F. and chosen
friends. As to whether he lived in the property is unclear, and he is more prominently
associated with the Edwardian Foursquare brick building at 5 Alexander Street. It is
believed this property was subdivided from the same lot at 164 and 166 Main Street
North.
Charles died in 1924 and Margaret in 1951, and they are buried in the Brampton
Cemetery. French’s estate continued to own the lots until 1953, when his children, as
their parents’ executors, sold them to Frederick Gordon. Might’s Directory notes Fred
Gordon as a resident of 164 Main Street North, and R. Bouwers of 166 Main Street
North in 1964. Luvilla Gordon sold Lot 91 to John and Mary Duggan in 1979. The
Duggan’s continued to own 164 Main Street North to 2000, but 166 Main Street was
sold in 1985. The ownership of 164 & 166 Main Street North appears to have been
separate up until recently.
5. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The cultural heritage value of 164 & 166 Main Street North is related to its design or
physical value as a representative example of Georgian architecture with a high degree
of craftsmanship. In addition, the building represents a rare example of a semi-detached
Georgian residential dwelling in Brampton.
Georgian architecture was popular in English-speaking countries from 1720 to 1850,
and received its name for the succession of British monarchs at the time – King George
I through to King George IV. The Georgian style was brought to the area by United
Empire Loyalists, American colonists loyal to the British Crown who settled in Canada
during or after the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). The Georgian style is
influenced by classical architecture, and is characterized by its simplicity, symmetry and
solidarity. The building at 164 & 166 Main Street North exhibits typical features of the
style, including its rectangular form with symmetrical front façade, side gable roofline,
return eaves, roof cornice, and rectangular windows, as well as the front door transom
and sidelights on the southern entrance. It also maintains the symmetry and simplicity
inherent to this form of architecture.
The structure is clearly divided into two separate residences, each with its own entrance
which is framed by equally spaced windows, one on either side and three above. Some
of the original or early architectural details that are still present and illustrate a degree of
craftsmanship include:
10.3-8
5
Wood soffit, frieze board, brackets and fascia
Unique wood window casing (gabled point at the top, with vertical sections wide
at the sill and narrowing as they travel toward the top)
Deep fascia at the roof and on the porches
Pedimented front porches with modillions and scalloped siding
Originally open, the south porch was enclosed in the early 1980s, however, the
pediment and associated decorative elements remain.
The properties also have contextual value because they maintain and support the
character of the area, which is defined by a series of detached, one and two-storey
dwellings situated on square or rectangular lots with relatively uniform front and side
yard setbacks resulting in long, uninterrupted views up and down the streetscape.
Although a number of the dwellings have been converted to commercial uses, the
residential built form remains. The building is also historically linked to its surroundings,
as it reflects the early development of Main Street North as an 19th and early 20th
century residential neighbourhood resulting from the economic and civic growth of
downtown Brampton.
6. Description of Heritage Attributes/Character Defining Elements
The heritage attributes comprise all façades, architectural detailing, construction
materials and associated building techniques, as well as significant landscape elements
and important vistas. The detailed heritage attributes/character defining elements
include, but are not limited to:
Georgian architecture
Two storey height
Side gable roof
Symmetrical front façade
Roughcast stucco

7. Policy Framework
In the context of land use planning, the Province of Ontario has declared that the wise
use and management of Ontario’s cultural heritage resources is a key provincial
interest.
A set of Provincial Policy Statements (PPS) provides planning policy direction on
matters of provincial interest in Ontario. These statements set the policy framework for
regulating the development and use of land. The relevant heritage policy statement is
PPS 2.6.1, which states that “significant built heritage resources and significant cultural
heritage landscapes shall be conserved”. PPS 2.6.1 is tied to Section 3 of the Ontario
Planning Act, which stipulates that land use planning decisions by municipalities “shall
be consistent with” the Provincial Policy Statements.
The policy is also integrated with the Ontario Heritage Act. This piece of legislation
grants municipalities powers to preserve locally significant cultural heritage resources
through heritage designation. Decisions as to whether a property should be designated
heritage or not is based solely on its inherent cultural heritage value or interest.
City Council prefers to designate heritage properties with the support of property
owners. However, Council will designate a property proactively, without the concurrence
of a property owner as required. These principles are reflected in Brampton’s Official
Plan. The relevant policies are as follows:
Section 4.10.1.3: All significant heritage resources shall be designated as being
of cultural heritage value or interest in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act
to help ensure effective protection and their continuing maintenance,
conservation and restoration.
Section 4.10.1.5: Priority will be given to designating all heritage cemeteries and
all Class A heritage resources in the Cultural Heritage Resources Register under
the Ontario Heritage Act.
Section 4.10.1.6: The City will give immediate consideration to the designation of
any heritage resource under the Ontario Heritage Act if that resource is
threatened with demolition, significant alterations or other potentially adverse
impacts.
10.3-10

In 2015, the City Council adopted a new Strategic Plan to guide the evolution, growth
and development of the city. Heritage preservation is one of the goals of this new
Strategic Plan.
These principles are also guided by recognized best practices in the field of heritage
conservation.

Report
Brampton Heritage Board The Corporation of the City of Brampton
2016-09-20
Date: 2016-09-02
Subject: Recommendation Report: Listing 47 Queen Street East on the
Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources - Ward 3
(HE.x 47 Queen St E)
Contact: Stavroula Kassaris, Heritage Coordinator, Planning and
Development Services, 905-874-3825,
Recommendations:
1. That the report from Stavroula Kassaris, dated September 2, 2016, to the
Brampton Heritage Board Meeting of September 20, 2016, re:
Recommendation Report: Listing 47 Queen Street East on the Municipal
Register of Cultural Heritage Resources - Ward 3 (HE.x 47 Queen St E),
be received; and
2. That 47 Queen Street East be listed on the City of Brampton’s Municipal
Register of Cultural Heritage Resources.
Overview:
This report recommends the Council list 47 Queen Street East on the
City of Brampton’s Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources.
Following research and evaluation of the property by the City, it has
been determined that this property has cultural heritage value or
interest.
This report achieves the Strategic Plan priorities by preserving and
protecting heritage environments with balanced, responsible planning.
Background:
The property at 47 Queen Street East is located on the south side of Queen Street
East, west of Chapel Street. The irregularly shaped lot contains as two storey
building and a parking lot.
10.4-1
Section 27 (1) of the Ontario Heritage Act allows a property that has not been
designated, but that the municipality believes to be of cultural heritage value or
interest, to be placed on a heritage register, commonly referred to as “listing”. These
“listed” properties are not protected through heritage designation, but represent a first
step a municipality can take to identify and evaluate a property that may warrant
some form of heritage conservation, recognition and/or long-term protection. The
listing of non-designated properties provides interim protection for sites being
considered for demolition by requiring owners to give the municipality at least 60
days notice of their intention to demolish or remove a building or structure on the
property. This notice period allows Council to make a well informed decision. Council
may then proceed to formally designate the property under the Ontario Heritage Act,
or remove the property from the Heritage Register and allow demolition.
Current Situation:
The property at 47 Queen Street East has been researched and evaluated by City
staff, and exhibits cultural heritage value or interest, as outlined in Appendix A. In
1840, a Methodist church was constructed at 47 Queen Street East on land donated
by John Elliott, who was a founding father of Brampton and staunch member of the
Primitive Methodist movement. The building continued to function as a church until
1885, and also hosted the first and last conference of the Primitive Methodist Church
in Canada.
On June 6, 1885 the cornerstone of a new church, St. Paul’s, was laid at 30 Main
Street South, which became the fourth and final location of the congregation. The
former Queen Street East church building was later converted for commercial use.
Although the defining architectural features have been removed, the building
continues to contribute to the pedestrian scale character of downtown Brampton’s
streetscape. It is recommended that this property be listed on the Municipal Register

1. Description of Property
The property at 47 Queen Street East is located on the south side of Queen Street East,
west of Chapel Street. The irregularly shaped lot contains a two storey building and a
parking lot.
2. Overview of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The cultural heritage value of 47 Queen Street East is related to its association with the
growth of Primitive Methodism in Brampton. When the Napoleonic Wars ended in 1815,
England suffered an economic depression resulting in mass emigration to the British
colonies. Many of the emigrants were Primitive Methodists from the northern parts of
England.
The first Primitive Methodists in the small hamlet of “Buffy’s Corners” (now Main and
Queen Streets in downtown Brampton) met for Sunday service in 1828 in the log home of
John and Mary Elliott, which was located on the east side of Main Street, south of
Wellington Street. When the Elliott homestead became too small for Sunday service, the
congregation moved to the home of Elliott’s son. Once the group became large and strong
enough, they decided to move their congregation to an actual church.
In 1840, the Methodist Church was constructed on the property known today as 47 Queen
Street East. The land was donated by John Elliott, a founding father of Brampton. A flight
of stairs led up to the front door of the brick church. An old fashioned pulpit commanded
the auditorium, while a large basement was utilized for Sunday School, meetings, and
other church events. Records indicate that a renovation was undertaken in 1856 and 1872.
The building continued to function as a church until 1885, and also hosted the first and last
conference of the Primitive Methodist Church in Canada.
On June 6, 1885 the cornerstone of a new church, St. Paul’s, was laid at 30 Main Street
South, which became the fourth and final location of the congregation. The former Queen
Street East church building was later converted for commercial functions.
A variety of businesses have operated out of 47 Queen Street East, including Brampton
Home Furnishers (1927-1942) and Brampton Funeral Service (1930-1942) run by the
McClure’s. It was also home to McKillip & McIntyre Furniture and Malton Furniture Inc.,
and more recently, clothing and beauty retailers.
The building has been altered since its original function as a church. In the early 1900s,
the building had an ornate front façade with large arched windows, corbelled brickwork, a
10.4-6

prominent roof cornice and pointed pediment, and ball finials. These details where later
removed, the brick covered with modern stucco, and an addition was added on the rear of
the building. Although the defining architectural features have been removed, the building
continues to contribute to the pedestrian scale commercial character of downtown
Brampton’s streetscape.

The introduction of Nelles Manor,126 Main Street West in the Town
of Grimsby, into the museum world hasbeen an auspicious one. On May 1, 2016,Grimsby Mayor Bob Bentley cut the rib-bon by wielding a sword from 1812, toofficially declare the home of ColonelRobert Nelles a public site. Over a hun-dred invited guests celebrated the cateredoccasion.
Robert Nelles was born in 1761 in theMohawk Valley of New York State. Hefollowed his father's loyalties as theAmerican War of Independence broke out,serving the British forces as a Scout in theIndian Department. The Nelles family andnative people were in close contact formany decades.
At the conclusion of the War, Robert,his father, and five brothers travelled to
Niagara and Six Nations land on theGrand River. They were among thoseearly settlers who had determination andvision. Their lands and possessions hadbeen confiscated. They themselves wereshunned.
Robert married a local woman, Eliza-beth Moore. While he traveled to andfrom "The Forty," it was here that he madehis home. The Manor was begun in 1788,the year of his marriage. The 20x25 footroom with its huge cooking fireplace andbake oven, including an attached"umbrage" on the north was the beginningof Robert's plans for an impressive house.The three foot thick, local stone walls sup-ported by 30 foot long, 8x10 inch oakbeams were no doubt a notable buildingaccomplishment. Over the ensuing tenyears, as he prospered, the remainder of

the Georgian style house was finished.Local black walnut was used in some ofthe interiors.
Once facing Lake Ontario, the housewas adapted about 1820 to face north tothe Queenston-Grimsby Stone Road. Atthat time the Neoclassical style porticowas added.
Robert continued to thrive, setting uptwo mills on Forty Mile Creek. He servedas Township Warden, Justice of the Peace,Master of his Masonic Lodge, andColonel of his Lincoln Regiment. He alsoserved two terms as a Member of Parlia-ment for Upper Canada.
In 1806, Robert was taxed on sevenfireplaces, 3,000 acres of land in GrimsbyTownship, three country houses, variouslivestock, and the contents of his still.
When his first wife died, Robertremarried. He fathered fourteen childrenin total. The youngest son, Charles, inher-ited the Manor and some property. Hisonly child, a daughter Maria, inherited theland. Maria married and had one child,Nelles Rutherford, from whose widowLinda and Barry Coutts purchased theproperty. As the family evolved so did thehouse and size of the property.
There was a very large Nelles familypresence in the Grimsby area. There arenow streets and a school commemoratingthe name. There were donations of land,like that of St. Andrew's Church near theManor. The name was held by manyprominent citizens.
On May 20, 2016, Dean Allison, M.P.for our Niagara West-Glanbrook riding,and his chief of staff made a special visit
to welcome the commemoration of theManor and its history to the region and tonote the accomplishment of establishingthis new museum. May 21 was the start ofregular tours of the house. Tours will con-tinue until Labour Day. We are fortunateto have a Canada Summer Jobs studenthelping in this new endeavour by attend-ing to the day to day management.
On June 2, Nelles Manor was hon-oured to be included in Lt. Governor Eliz-abeth Dowdeswell's itinerary on an offi-cial visit to the Town of Grimsby. Hostedby the Town, guests were invited to a timehonoured tradition of "refreshments in thegarden." Barry and Linda Coutts led a tourof the Manor for the Lt. Governor and herentourage, after which they circulatedamong the guests. It was a special eventindeed, especially as Lt. Gov. John GravesSimcoe had visited here in 1792.
Barry and Linda Coutts purchased theManor in 1971 from the widow of RobertNelles's great grandson. A couple of yearslater, they started to take out partitions,carefully following what was under,behind, and around the renovations andupgrades. Bathrooms, kitchens, separateentries, and proper storage for eight apart-ments had made for a very changed interi-or.
The history of Robert Nelles and theNelles family really impressed itself onthem. They were captivated, realizing thatthe house is a real gem. Having theincome from the apartments and doingmost of the work themselves, the Couttswere able to continue the restoration. Forthe next 45 years it was the focus of their
lives, along with Barry's regular employ-ment and the involvement of their youngfamily in the community. Plaster dust,tools everywhere, and partly finishedrooms became the norm.
Workshops, visits to historic villagesand sites, near and far, reinforced theimportance of maintaining this house. Inthe early 1980s, the Coutts entered a her-itage conservation easement agreementwith Ontario Heritage Trust, and later theproperty was designated under the OntarioHeritage Act.
Over the years, schoolchildren occa-sionally visited, small groups toured, spe-cial occasions were celebrated, and tourswere conducted. The Coutts always con-sidered themselves the stewards of thehouse, and that it should remain part ofthe heritage of Grimsby and Niagara.Thus in 2016, after much consultation andpaperwork, the house was donated to anewly founded charitable, non-profit cor-poration created by the family. Its Boardmanages the site. The Coutts moved intothe apartment that is the carriage house atthe north, an addition of the 1820s.
Now there are museum hours, with theopportunity for small weddings, recep-tions, and meetings. It is hoped that theactivities, along with "Friends" and otherfundraising occasions will support a longlife for Nelles Manor Museum. The hopeis that the Manor will carry on represent-ing the era of the Nelles family, a timethat was so different from today, and alsobe a tribute to the man upon whom webase the history. Information about theMuseum including hours of operation areon the website: nellesmanor.ca.

The 2016 Ontario Heritage Conference held May 12 to 14in Stratford and St. Marys was a great success. It gave the
attendees a chance to discover an area rich in heritage and onethat is doing good work in preservation. Often better known forits theatre industry, the conference provided an opportunity tolook at the area with a different lens. The unique architecture andbuilding materials, the challenges of infrastructure on mainstreets, and even the rural challenges in an ever growing commu-nity, where all topics that engaged us.
As with every conference, programming is the glue thatbinds everything together and this year the local organizingcommittee worked hard to provide a great program, coveringissues of interest locally but that could also be applied to manyof our municipalities. The speakers were knowledgeable,approachable, and clearly happy to share their experience withthe participants. The partnership between Stratford and St.Marys was very successful and provided opportunities to visit
each location, giving participants a chance to discover newvenues and circumstances.
The conference was also a lot of fun. From the Thursday roadrally and walking tours in both Stratford and St. Marys, these out-ings introduced us to the local stories and colours. Friday`soptional activities included dinners in great surroundings and apub crawl with ghostly appearances. The lunches kept everyonetogether and offered an opportunity to share and network withlike minded people, sharing our stories and woes and giving usthe strength and ideas to go on fighting for heritage. Saturday`sweather and wind reminded us that the best planners have no con-trol over Mother Nature, but that nothing can keep a heritageaddict away from a good walking tour.
Thanks to all who took the time to complete the online survey.The CHO/PCO Conference Committee shares these results withfuture organizers, always hoping to make the next conferenceequally successful. See you in Ottawa, June 8 to 10, 2017.

In April 2016, the North GrenvilleMunicipal Heritage Committee
held its second biannual symposium.The Committee invited other heritagegroups and heritage related businessesto bring displays and were delightedwhen approximately ten organizationsaccepted the invitation. The symposiumwas held in the Urbandale Arts Centreat the North Grenville Municipal Cen-tre. Displays were set up in the lobbyarea and in the theatre, resulting in anintimate and friendly atmosphere with
plenty of room for speakers and partici-pants to mingle and chat during thebreaks.
The day started with a presentation byBrenda Ball of Hubbard and Co. inSpencerville. Since 1981, Brad Hubbardand his wife Brenda have been meticu-lously restoring and adapting heritagebuildings in Eastern Ontario. Brendadescribed a project in Winchester,Ontario, where the former town hall andfire station was adapted to become a the-atre and home of the Dundas Players.
The problems they met, such as makingthe building accessible, and how thesewere resolved, made for a fascinatingtalk.
Dr. John C. Carter, the current Chair ofthe South Bruce Peninsula Municipal Her-itage Committee and a former MuseumsAdvisor for Ontario, has travelled the lengthand breadth of Ontario while visiting andadvising museum staff and boards. Duringhis travels he made notes about and pho-tographed many barns. These photographsare the focus of his excellent talk about vari-ous types and styles of barn, some damagedby the elements, some adapted as dwellings,some still operating as barns, some denudedof their siding during the 1960s and 70swhen it was the fashion to clad basementwalls in barnboard, and, sadly, some that nolonger exist. Dr. Carter pointed out thatbarns can be removed without a demolitionpermit and that protecting barns, even with aheritage designation, is very difficult. Dr.Carter's "Barn Again" T-Shirt was probablythe hit of the event!
One of the exhibitors was GordonBeck, a photographer from Brockvillewho has documented many barns in Leedsand Grenville. His exhibit of photographsof rural barns in Eastern Ontario was theperfect partner to Dr. Carter's talk.
Following the noon break, James Stin-son spoke about the Heritage Trades pro-gram at Algonquin College. He is aninstructor in the Heritage Carpentry

Heritage Elizabethtown- Kitley was fortunate to be chosento participate in the Proctor & Gamble Day of Caring
this June 2016. P & G offers this program to community organiza-tions in the Brockville area by sending their employees to chosenwork areas for one day to lend a hand at tasks and small jobs thatmay not get done without help. Organizations submit an idea forwhich they need assistance to undertake and small work groupsare assigned to help.
Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley requested help with the Ful-ford Pioneer Cemetery. This cemetery overlooking St. LawrenceRiver was dedicated about 1786. Jonathon Fulford's infant sonwas buried there on June 7, 1786. The property is protected underthe Ontario Heritage Act for being one of the earliest cemeteriesin Leeds County; one of the earliest burial grounds of UnitedEmpire Loyalists in the region; and that Jonathon Fulford was asergeant in Jessup's Rangers. P & G gave their services to thisproject two years ago, but the weather did not cooperate and thework was cut short.
Heritage committee members Jim McMullen, Mary-AnneGibson, and Tracy Gayda joined seven P & G workers to rake,dig, and reset stones at the site. One project that the P & G teamwanted to accomplish was to return the obelisk to its rightful spotatop one of the monuments. That task was completed this year.The cemetery was also cleared and the boundaries relocated. Fourfootstones were found along the edge of the cemetery amidstbrush and weeds. Some of the stones were cleared of overgrowngrass and the trees were trimmed to better observe some of theheadstones. The entranceway was cleaned up to make an openwalkway from the roadway to the cemetery.
P & G donated lunch, snacks, and drinks for all the workers.The heritage committee supplied rakes, loppers, extra hands, andcemetery trivia. There was a bit of excitement to start the daywhen one of the workers found a bone. Everyone had a goodlaugh when they realized it was a long lost dog treat, a butcher cutrib bone.
Heritage Elizabethtown-Kitley is grateful for this program andthe assistance given by P & G and its employees. This corporateprogram is an excellent idea and many other heritage and commu-nity groups, and social agencies were assisted all around theBrockville area that day.

ment in a heritage conservation district;and the impact of climate change on infra-structure. Have a look and see some ofwhat you missed. Unfortunately our web-site cannot convey opportunities at theconference for networking and the inspi-ration arising from heritage conservationin Stratford and St. Marys.
So plan to attend the 2017 OntarioHeritage Conference in Ottawa, June 8 to10, where the theme will be "Canada 150:Reflecting on the Past and Building theFuture of Heritage Conservation." Thelocal organizing committee is building aprogram of interest not only to municipalheritage committee members, but alsopractitioners in the field of heritage con-servation. It is also a great way to cele-brate Canada's sesquicentennial.
You will see from an advertisement else-where in CHOnews that your board is look-ing to hire a staff member to assist in ourwork. Like many of you, the Board is com-
posed of volunteers with limited time todevote to CHO/PCO projects. If we are suc-cessful in hiring the right person, this shouldimprove our ability to reach out to our mem-ber municipal heritage committees.
Have a good summer.
La conférence 2016 OHC à Strat-ford/St. Marys a été super ! A
guichet fermé, avec plus de 250 person-nes présentes dont 52% membres descomités municipaux du patrimoine. Dansl'évaluation qu'ils ont complétée, les par-ticipants à la conférence ont indiqué quece fut un succès ; ils ont également faitplusieurs suggestions pour l'améliorationdes futures conférences. Mes remer-ciements au comité organisateur qui adéveloppé un programme avec un largeéventail de sujets qui ont fait appel auxintérêts des passionnés du patrimoine.Le comité incluait plusieurs directeursde CHO-PCO, qui ont dévoué beaucoupde leur énergie et de leur temps à rendrecet évènement un succès. Si vous n'avezpu vous y rendre, CHO-PCO a enregistréquelques sessions de la conférence etcelle-ci sont affichées sur le site web -www.communityheritageontario.ca . Lessessions incluent ; leçons récentes sur ladésignation provenant des tribunaux etde l'OMB; réparation/remplacement desinfrastructures dans un district de con-servation du patrimoine; et l'impact deschangements climatiques sur l'infrastruc-ture. Jeter un coup d'œil et voyez ce quivous avez manqué. Malheureusementnotre site web ne peut transmettre les
opportunités de réseautage et l'inspira-tion provenant de la conservation du pat-rimoine présente à Stratford et à St.Marys.
Alors, planifier d'être présent pour laconférence OHC de 2017, du 8 au 10juin à Ottawa, où le thème sera "Canada150: Reflecting on the Past and Buildingthe Future of Heritage Conservation".Le comité organisateur local est au tra-vail pour bâtir un programme d'intérêt,non seulement pour les comités munici-paux du patrimoine, mais aussi pour lesprofessionnels œuvrant dans le secteurde la préservation du patrimoine. Ce seraaussi une très bonne façon de célébrer lecent cinquantième du Canada.
Vous verrez aussi par une annonceplus loin dans le CHO-PCO News que leconseil considère engager un employépour aider dans notre travail. Commeplusieurs d'entre vous, le conseil estcomposé de volontaires avec du tempslimité pour les projets de CHO-PCO. Sinous avons du succès à engager la bonnepersonne, ceci devra améliorer notrehabilité à rejoindre tous nos membres -les comités municipaux du patrimoine.

We Want toHear From You
CHOnews is YOUR quarterly
publication. We want to know
about the initiatives, achievements,
challenges, and concerns of your
Municipal Heritage Committee.
Information networking through
CHOnews is important. Submis-
sions are welcome at any time.
Following the successful annual OntarioHeritage Conference in Stratford and St.
Marys, the CHO/PCO Board of Directors met toelect an executive, review the bylaws and poli-cies, and begin the new year business plan.
The Executive Members will remain thesame for 2016-2017 with Wayne Morgan, Presi-dent; Ginette Guy and Tracy Gayda, Vice Presi-dents; and Paul King, Chair of Finance Commit-tee.
As some annual conferences and our Annual GeneralMeeting are being held in May rather than June, the Boardrecommended that Bylaw 6.1 be amended such that the firstBoard meeting after the AGM be held within 60 days, ratherthan the existing 30 days, to allow for the regular meeting tobe held on the fourth Sunday of June (which has been thepractice for several years). In addition, with the Board beingreduced from 10 to 12 members to the current maximum of 8,the need for two additional "executive members at large" hasbecome redundant.
Bylaw 7.0 was amended to allow any elected Board memberto serve on the executive committee. With most CHO/PCOBoard members also having local municipal heritage committeeresponsibilities, the role of an Executive member should beopen to any elected Board member who has MHC experienceand who may be retired from their local MHC.
Minor amendments were made to the ongoing policiesincluding a reduction from 4 to 1 issue of CHOnews being pro-vided to MHCs who are not members of CHO/PCO but are onthe Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport's roster. TheseMHCs will be encouraged to join CHO/PCO to receive multi-ple copies of all issues or be added to our electronic distribu-tion list.
Ginette Guy reported that the Joint Conference Committeewill be re-established to best plan for future conference sitesseveral years in advance. This gives the local committee plentyof time to organize the conference, plan sessions, and get suit-able speakers. She reported that planning for the AnnualOntario Heritage Conference in the spring of 2017 in Ottawa is
well underway in partnership with OAHP. Stronginterest for 2018 has been expressed from SaultSte . Marie, where the provincial heritage(LACAC) conference was held in 1988. Longtime CHO/PCO members may recall that it wasat Sault Ste. Marie where the idea of a provincialheritage preservation body (now CommunityHeritage Ontario) was first discussed and a steer-ing committee established.
Given the vast amount of organizing, planning, and othertime consuming responsibilities involved with holding educa-tional workshops, the Board decided to look into hiring a parttime Program Officer to work under the supervision of the Edu-cation Committee and the Board. Details will be released onour website and in a forthcoming issue of CHOnews.
Since insurance issues for heritage properties is a concern insome areas, the Education Committee will be looking into thepossibility of holding a half day workshop on the topic or com-bine this issue with another for a full day workshop. Petroliahas express an interest as host, and perhaps adding Sarniawould provide an interested audience.
The Board is looking to add new members to fill vacancieswhich may occur during the year. Travel expenses are coveredby CHO/PCO and any Board member travelling a long distancealso receives accommodation compensation. The Board meetsquarterly on the fourth Sunday of June, September, November,and March in Scarborough. Anyone interested in serving on theCHO/PCO Board of Directors is asked to contact the CorporateSecretary [email protected].
