Colonial Acres – Cultural Heritage

The Cultural Hertitage Landscape for Colonical Acres was approved at Council on Monday September 23, 2019.

Cultural Heritage Landscapes are defined in the Provincial Policy Statement (2014), as a planning document that provides policy direction on matters of Provincial interest related to land use planning and development. It describes a Cultural Heritage Landscape as “a defined geographical area that may have been modified by human activity and is identified as having cultural heritage value or interest by a community, including an Aboriginal community. The area may involve features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites or natural elements that are valued together for their interrelationship, meaning or association.”
