  • Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources Designated Under the Ontario Heritage Act
    Municipal Register of Cultural Heritage Resources Designated Under the Ontario Heritage Act Designated Properties Last Updated: 2021 1 Background In Ontario, the conservation of cultural heritage resources is considered a matter of public interest. Significant heritage resources must be conserved. The Ontario Heritage Act gives municipalities and the provincial government powers to preserve the heritage of Ontario. The primary focus of the Act is the protection of heritage buildings, cultural landscapes and archaeological sites. The Ontario Heritage Act enables municipalities to designate such properties if they hold “cultural heritage value or interest”. Municipal heritage designations are enacted by City Council through the passing of a by-law. Once a property is designated, it gains public recognition as well as a measure of protection from demolition or unsympathetic alteration. Designation helps guide future change to the property so that the cultural heritage value of the property can be maintained. There are two types of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act: designation of individual properties (known as Part IV designation), and designation of unique and important streetscapes, areas or "heritage conservation districts" (known as Part V designation). Any real property that has cultural heritage value or interest can be designated, including houses, barns, factories, cemeteries, parks, bridges, trees, gardens, hedgerows, fences, monuments, churches, woodlots, historic sites and the list goes on. Heritage designation is based on provincially regulated criteria (Ontario Heritage Act, O. Reg. 9/06), which includes design or physical value, historical or associative value, and/or contextual value. Heritage designation can be based on meeting one or more of these three broad criteria.

  • Committee of Council
    DM-2.-I CGivifviiTTEE Of COUNCIL DATE: FeferuoAj l4-lto,2ol/ Ms. Dubenofsky, By way of this email I would like to request, on behalf of the Chinguacousy Concert Band (Inc.), an operational funding grant from the City of Brampton. I am certain you are already familiar with our organization and in particular our two groups, the Chinguacousy Swing Orchestra and of course the Chinguacousy Concert Band. We have worked diligently over the past few years to meet the recently established criteria applied to other groups to be eligible for funding. You can see outlined on the attached fact sheet, and below, that the organization has not only proven successful in festivals and competitions near and far, but also has a rich and far reaching heritage; the origins of the band dating back to 1872. We respectfully request for the 2011 budget an operational funding grant from the City in the amount of $10,000.00 primarily to be used to cover professional development for our musical director, print music purchases, and equipment maintenance to ensure our musical instruments and library are available for future generations of Bramptonians to enjoy. This is not an unusual or unprecedented request. In the 1970's and 80's; before the City's funding strategy changed, we received adequate amounts for operation. As an example from our archives; Donald Gordon approved a similar operational grant for $7,000.00 in 1978. Were we to apply an inflationary rate to this amount to bring it to present day, it would equal over $22,000,001 Fortunately over our years we have learned to remain budget conscious and our operational funding requirements have been trimmed to the minimum.

Ms. Fraser said in an interview that people sometimes refer to the registration days as something of an activities fair. The “fair,” to be held on Sept. 5 and then again in February, usually includes registra- tions for minor sports such as hockey, fi gure skating and soccer in season but also for such as dance lessons and fi tness classes and for Guides, Scouts and Cubs. “Information will be available for local clubs, teams, social groups, and organizations offering adult and youth activities and services in your community,” Ms.

On Monday, September 20, 2010, the City of Brampton drives into the public transit history books when North America‟s only state-of-the-art Xcelsior model bus made in Canada leaves the brand new Brampton Transit - Bramalea Terminal at 4:45 a.m. Brampton Züm (pronounced zoom) is a North American Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service with European sophistication built in Canada by Winnipeg‟s New Flyer Industries with integral design assistance from Brampton Transit. Züm is a model of modern-day technical ingenuity that will keep Brampton Transit‟s initial 25 of 60 new vehicles in the $285-million project on schedule and riders up to date with real-time schedule information, like when the next bus will really arrive. Among the other exclusive features that make the European-fashioned Züm ahead of its time in North America are: The highest ranking for fuel economy in factory testing; LED headlights that draw less power; 10-inch kneel, making it the lowest step-on on the market and one of the most accessible public buses in the world; The lowest interior noise for passengers ever recorded in third-party testing; 50 per cent larger tinted skylights for better views Electronic Instrument Panels (EIP) that provide each driver with more information than ever before.

  • 261-263 Queen Street East Brampton | Ontario, Canada
    Prime Redevelopment Opportunity with Holding Income 261-263 QUEEN STREET EAST BRAMPTON | ONTARIO, CANADA Investment Summary THE OPPORTUNITY Colliers Capital Markets (the “Advisor”) is pleased to present the opportunity to acquire a 100% freehold interest in 261-263 Queen Street East, Brampton (the “Property”), a prime redevelopment opportunity with excellent holding income. Situated at the southwest corner of Queen Street East and Rutherford Road, the Property is in Brampton’s Central Area and the emerging Queen Street Corridor. This Corridor is the major location for higher order uses in Brampton, and a focus of intensification and improvements. Already supported by the ZUM bus service, new transit initiatives include a planned dedicated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) with a station at the Property and improved connections to the Highway 7 BRT and Vaughan Metropolitan Centre subway station. With over 8 acres of land, considerable future density can be considered for this important urban property. An initial planning review estimates 1.3 million to 1.8 million square feet of gross floor area, primarily residential, could be reasonably expected and supported by in- place planning principles in this corridor where intensification is being promoted and encouraged. The Property is currently improved with over 80,000 square feet of leasable retail area including a mix of national (Tim Horton’s, Salvation Army) and local services retailers and community uses. Almost fully occupied (98% occupancy), the Property generates $1.48 million in NOI with all net leases and an average net rent of $18.50 PSF. The weighted average term remaining is 3.2 years and almost all tenants have demolition clauses in place.
