Our inheritance of architecture,  natural landscapes, and material culture is an irreplaceable asset and resource.   In Ontario, the task of conserving our inheritance of significant properties is primarily a municipal matter.   The Ontario Heritage Act provides a framework within which municipalities can act to ensure the conservation of properties of cultural heritage value or interest.   It also encourages citizen participation in heritage conservation locally.   The function of the committee is to advise Council on local heritage matters and to assist the Council in carrying out its heritage conservation program.
