How will it affect my property? • It is an overall plan for the entire city and will not directly affect individual properties. • It makes provision for new development to be compatible with existing settings. • It guides growth in ways that avoid negative impacts on existing neighbourhoods. Who prepared the plan? • It was prepared by a consulting team hired by the City. • The team included heritage planners, architects, tourism and economic development consultants, cultural resource specialists, historians and archaeologists. • The plan was guided by a steering committee composed of the Mayor and representatives of Council and the major interest groups in Cambridge. • Comments from the public (via interviews and surveys) influenced the plan. How was the plan prepared? • It followed terms of reference provided by the City. • It reflects current Provincial, national and international best practices in heritage planning. • It was reviewed at regular intervals by the steering committee. • It culminated in a final report for adoption by Council. 5 What will happen after the City adopts the Plan? • The recommended action plan and time line provide a list of immediate and longer term projects to implement the plan. • The study steering committee becomes the implementation committee responsible for carrying out the plan’s recommendations. • It contains ways to monitor the effectiveness of the recommended projects. • It leads to changes in the way heritage is managed by the City, and to revised policies in the City’s Official Plan. • It encourages partnerships with other agencies and groups to act on its recommendations. Who can I ask for further information? • Contact Valerie Spring, Heritage Planner at (519) 740-4650 x 4580 or [email protected] Overview The following Plan has several distinct but related sections. It is intended to be read as a whole, in sequence. However, for those interested in specific topics, there are key sections that should be noted: • For an overview of what the plan is and what it hopes to achieve, see the Executive Summary. • For questions about the study purpose and process, see Sections 1 and 2. • For an explanation of the range of heritage resources considered, see Section 3. • For a thematic history of the community, see Section 4. • For a summary of comments received in interviews, surveys and meetings, see Section 5. • For good ideas from elsewhere, see Section 6. • For strategies for improving the City’s heritage inventory, planning policies, and economic development opportunities, see Section 7. • For the recommendations and action plan, see Section 8. • For background on the current state of heritage planning in Cambridge, see Appendix A. • For meeting minutes, references and a list of persons interviewed, see the remaining Appendices B-D. 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 7 8 Scope and Purpose What is a Heritage Master Plan? It is a new approach to current issues surrounding the management of heritage places. In this it is both a vision document and a policy document, both a product and a process. At the highest level, the Plan expresses the shared values of the community, as manifest in buildings and landscapes and in the cultural uses of such places. The Plan explores these values, puts them in an historic context, and shows how they can have relevance now and in the future. Policies (and actions) in the Plan are intended to make that vision a reality. The Plan is a document to reference as well as a process to forge new ways of doing things. The Heritage Master Plan is an essential first step in moving forward and focusing on the key issues around preparing heritage conservation policies and strategies. However, the Plan is no panacea: it depends upon acceptance by both the City administration and the public at large and, thus, will be proven if it results in new projects and improved management practices. In terms of expectations for its effectiveness, the Plan can: • Provide strategies for improving the delivery of heritage services, such as an upgraded inventory and evaluation process, and better management practices both within the City administration and in the voluntary sector; • Pull together the best advice from previous studies, public comment, the steering committee and City staff review into a single, comprehensive document; • Recommend revised or updated policies for inclusion in the Official Plan; • Provide strategies for implementation, via a set of objectives and prioritized action steps; and • Make it easier for the general public to become engaged in heritage activity. At the same time, the Plan cannot be expected to: • Resolve current controversies surrounding threats to heritage properties; or 9 • Show quick results in terms of economic benefits and improved community support for heritage conservation. Origins Even so, the Plan has a good chance of becoming a catalyst for success because it is the culmination of efforts by many local citizens, over many years. The Plan is based on several initiatives aimed at increasing public awareness of the city’s history. Driving and walking tours of the city prepared by Heritage Cambridge in the 1970s and 1980s provided an initial sense of the heritage resources available locally. Augmenting these were early attempts to forge consensus on overall heritage policy. The first was “Our Common Future”, prepared in 1994 by the Economic Development Advisory Committee of Council. It laid out a set of broad policy objectives and action plan steps for the city, including initiatives involving heritage conservation. From this initial recognition of the cultural and economic importance of heritage arose the Legacy Cambridge project, prepared in 2003 and focused specifically on policies for conservation of natural and cultural heritage resources. The first priority in the final report of Legacy Cambridge was the preparation of a Heritage Master Plan. As a result of these efforts, this Plan is not starting from scratch, and is thus an efficient use of public time and money. The Heritage Master Plan updates and modifies recommendations made in previous studies to suit current conditions and revised Provincial planning and heritage legislation. In doing so, it ensures that the relevant ideas from earlier efforts are retained and given the opportunity to be implemented. Constraints and Proactive Responses The conflicts over heritage issues, and the missed opportunities to realize community and economic benefits from heritage conservation, have been addressed in the preparation of this plan. The current document offers a way to move beyond conflicts over heritage into new partnerships, providing there is the public will to do so. Recent events in Cambridge show an impasse between Council and heritage advocates in several instances, but the causes of this situation go deeper.

  • This Friday: Kindness Spread on a Mass Scale Around Guelph
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE This Friday: Kindness spread on a mass scale around Guelph “How do we change the world? One random act of kindness at a time” – Morgan Freeman Schools, adults, community groups, organizations of all shapes and sizes will be demonstrating what kindness means to them this Friday November 6th throughout the Guelph community. If you find yourself on the streets of Guelph this Friday, you will no doubt encounter a kindness act in the making. From The Letter M’s free breakfast table downtown, to a free Guelph Mercury newspaper when you ride the bus, to free hugs and hot chocolate at The University of Guelph. You may be strolling along Cork Street and help yourself to a lollipop because kindness truly is sweet. Kindness may take the form of a coffee paid for you by a stranger. You may see kindness in the appreciation from a co-worker. Maybe a door will be held open for you; you may receive a phone call from an old friend. Perhaps you will notice oversized sticky notes on the street corner with kindness quotes that encourage you to act out in kindness toward someone else. If you were a fly on the wall in one of our schools, you would see students exchanging “pay it forward” kindness cards, collecting food for donation, reading books about kindness, listen to morning announcements that encourage students to include kindness in their day, and see lesson plans based around the kindness character trait. Stay tuned on social media all day Friday, where the community will be “caught in the act of kindness” and where we will be sharing kindness stories through images, video, and inspiring words – and we’ll continue to share the kindness throughout the month of November.
