6. DISCUSSIONS

Committee Member Shawn Ruhl having previously declared a conflict of interest left Council Chambers at 2:10 p.m.

(a) Request for Preliminary Comments - Proposed Deck on the Rotunda Building (Bigwin Island)

Planning Technician provided the following information: • Staff recently received a general inquiry from Duncan Ross Architects to permit development of a deck onto the Rotunda Building on Bigwin Island; • The proposed deck is to increase the use of the building, as it is currently used as a dining hall and this deck will allow for outside seating; • As this is an inquiry only, Council will likely have final decision on the proposed deck once an application is submitted.

The Committee reviewed the conceptual design proposal and applicable site plans and noted the proposed deck will not greatly affect the heritage features of the building. The Committee also noted the proposed deck is not located on the Rotunda but on the marine dining hall lounge. The only items left of the Rotunda are fireplaces.

Resolution # 6(a)/04/02/19

Councillor Godard and Rebecca Krawczyk

WHEREAS the Heritage Advisory Committee receives information from the Township of Lake of Bays Planning Department

Page 4 of 8

regarding the Request for Preliminary Comments - Proposed Deck on the Rotunda Building (Bigwin Island); and

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Heritage Advisory Committee of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays provides the following comments: has no concern with the proposed addition of the deck provided that there is no major change to the exterior historical features of the building or view from the lake.

Carried

Committee Member Shawn Ruhl returned to Council Chambers at 2:17 p.m.

(b) Request for Comments - Location of Thompson's Portage in Relation to Consent Application B 29/18 (LOB)

Planning Technician advised the following: • Staff recently received an application to create a new waterfront building lot on Lake of Bays; • The new waterfront building lot will likely include the water access for Thompson’s Portage but there is no additional information or mapping to confirm its location in the Township’s Official Plan; • The application to be considered by Council is with respect to a severance of a 200’ property on Lake of Bays, with the remaining retained property consisting of 200’ waterfront; • Likely the severed property would not be affected by the portage, but the remainder 200’ lot may be, and as per planning requirements, 200’ of waterfront must be kept on the retained lot – which may be impacted by portage footage.

The Committee reviewed the proposed severance sketch and discussed that there is historical context to Thompson’s Portage, established from Haystack Bay Marina to Claytons Bay. The Portage route in the subject area was pointed out on the map provided.

Resolution # 6(b)/04/02/19

Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes - April 2, 2019 Page 7 of 70 Page 5 of 8 AGENDADraft ITEM #3.(a) Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes - Tuesday, April 2, 2019

BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Heritage Advisory Committee of the Corporation of the Township of Lake of Bays provides the following comments: that the members of the Heritage Advisory Committee established that a portage has existed in this area and requests that the portage is preserved during this planning application process as it continues to be used currently by canoes and snowmobiles.

Carried

Chair Tapley highlighted the following: • The Township has been made aware that the Diocese will be closing the church after the 2019 Thanksgiving weekend, as the congregation is between 10-12 parishioners; • There are some rumblings in the community about the church closing regarding the future of the building and cemetery; • The Committee Chair has been approached by a resident to designate the church; • The cemetery, should the Diocese walk away, would transfer to Township ownership – but not the church itself; • It appears the church and immediate surrounding land cannot be severed and sold due to the proximity of the cemetery; • The Diocese, as the owner, may decide to demolish the church or try to sell the church to someone who may relocate it; • Should the church be demolished or relocated, the Committee could consider installing a commemorative plaque in its place to correlate with the cemetery; • It is not the current practice, or has it ever been the practice, that the Heritage Advisory Committee designates a building without the property owner’s consent.

Staff noted that the decision as to the future of the church is in the hands of the Diocese and should they approach the Committee to designate the building, we may proceed from there.

It is the Committees position to continue with its current mandate not to designate buildings without property owner’s consent.

(d) 2019 Work Plan

The Committee discussed items for their 2019 work plan, including: • Re-print of the Lower Oxtongue River Heritage Paddle Tour Map and Guide;

(e) Donation of Artwork - Fundraising Purposes

The Chair advised that the artwork, donated by Paul Brinkworth from New York State, is of Marsh’s Falls and may be sold or printed for fundraising purposes for the Heritage Advisory Committee.

Heritage Matters ... more!

Up front | Beth Hanna, CEO of the Ontario Heritage Trust Museums matter. How often do you visit the museums in your community? Do you include museums, art galleries and heritage sites in your vacation planning? The Government of Canada Survey of Heritage Institutions (2017) showed that Canadians made 75.3 million visits to museums, art galleries and historic sites in 2015 and more than 200 million online visits expanded their reach across the country. Which will you visit this summer?

Museums are much more than places to learn about history or to study collections of artifacts, although they certainly are those things. Museums are valued as community gathering places, providing opportunities to connect with our heritage and with other people. They are places of study, of interaction, of play. They stimulate our creativity and

Ontario Heritage Trust - Heritage Matters... more ! - May 16, 2019 Page 11 of 70 AGENDA ITEM #3.(c)

imagination, challenging our understanding of ourselves and of others. They breathe and evolve.

Each year on May 18, the International Council of Museums shines a spotlight on the importance of museums worldwide. This year’s theme, Museums as Cultural Hubs: The future of tradition, examines this emerging role: “… Today [museums] look for innovative ways to tackle contemporary social issues and conflict. By acting locally, museums can also advocate and mitigate global problems, striving to meet the challenges of today’s society proactively. As institutions at the heart of society, museums have the power to establish dialogue between cultures, to build bridges for a peaceful world and to define a sustainable future …”

In Ontario, the Ontario Museum Association promotes May as Museum Month, celebrating the important work done by Ontario’s 700+ museums, galleries and heritage sites.

As we do each year, the Ontario Heritage Trust welcomes visitors from around the corner and across the globe to visit our signature museum sites in Ontario. The summer and early fall seasons make for great times to visit these sites – and to explore the communities where they’re located.

With the summer laid out before you, make a museum, gallery or historic site one of your stops this year, join your local museum, go online to a museum you have always wanted to tour. Read on to learn more about the Trust’s museum sites. Find one (or more) that sparks your interest and start planning today. We wish you happy and safe travels and look forward to welcoming you across Ontario!

Explore our calendar of events. There’s lots to see and do this summer throughout Ontario!

A painful reminder of how much heritage

matters

When fire broke out at Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris on April 15, millions of people worldwide felt alarm, pain, even grief. Thousands gathered in the streets of Paris to witness the fire, pray, and sing together. We all instinctively understand why. Heritage matters to us.

The value of an 850-year-old cathedral that reflects the identity of a nation and is filled with priceless art and artifacts is clear. But what about the smaller heritage structures

Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACORN) in a Nutshell Newsletter's ... Page 21 of 70 AGENDA ITEM #3.(d)

we live with; the historic churches, commercial buildings, homes and industrial buildings that arose through the labour of our ancestors and have endured through generations? What are we doing to protect those treasures?

If every member of our communities, our governments and our corporations understood what these buildings embody, viewed them as cultural assets, and realized the permanence of their loss, we would not have to fight battles every time a building was at risk of demolition, whether by intention or neglect. Unfortunately, we are not quite there yet.

ACO is working hard to advocate for better legislative protections for heritage and to encourage everyone in Ontario to value our heritage structures and landscapes. Meanwhile, dedicated members of our many branches are doing excellent work in their local communities. If you read Nutshell and care about heritage but are not yet a member of ACO, please consider joining us (you can sign up online HERE). There’s power in numbers, and we have many treasures among us to protect.

A behind-the-scenes look at the Massey Hall glass restoration

The Massey Hall revitalization project is currently underway, overseen by Toronto’s award-winning KPMB Architects and supported by Goldsmith Borgal & Company Ltd. Architects. There are many elements to this exciting project, including the historic restoration work, modern upgrades, and an addition. But one aspect of the project has really captured the public's attention; Massey Hall’s stained-glass windows, hidden behind plywood for decades, where they became damaged, filthy, forgotten.

The careful cleaning and restoration of the stained glass is being undertaken by two leaders in the field: John Wilcox's Vitreous Glassworks and Eve Guinan's EGD Glass. Both are recipients of ACO's James D. Strachan Award for Craftsmanship, Wilcox in 2010 and Guinan in 2018. When Massey Hall reopens in 2020, seeing these windows for the first time will be thrilling!

Media outlets have been reporting on the stained glass work this past month, taking a peek into the studio to see how the work is being done. Here are a few pieces from

Call for Submissions: Small Places, Big

Heritage

Fewer than 20 percent of Ontarians now live outside large urban areas, yet many of the great successes in heritage conservation are in tiny towns and villages dotted across the province. In fact, when it comes to learning about Ontario’s history, some of the best lessons are found in our smaller communities.

The Fall 2019 ACORN will look at stories of heritage preservation in small places. Articles should be a maximum of either 500 or 1000 words in length and “encourage the conservation and reuse of structures, districts and landscapes of architectural, historic and cultural significance, to inspire and benefit Ontarians.”

Please send proposals to [email protected] prior to starting work on an article to avoid duplication and ensure guidelines are received. Deadline for submissions is July 15, 2019. Submitters are encouraged to look at past issues available on the ACO

Spreading the word about heritage in

Elora/Fergus

The Wellington ACO members of the Guelph/Wellington branch have been producing tv

Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACORN) in a Nutshell Newsletter's ... Page 44 of 70 AGENDA ITEM #3.(d)

programs with Wightman TV for local broadcast, focusing on local heritage. There have been five episodes produced to date, with more on the way. This is being undertaken as an educational and archival contribution to the community, and the staff of Wightman TV have been excellent collaborators in this project (with special thanks to Adam Oliviero, the cameraman).

The premiere episode featured Susan Ratcliffe, President of the ACO Guelph/Wellington branch, outlining the work of ACO in conversation with ACO member Graeme Chalmers at his heritage designated house in Fergus. Subsequent episodes featured other residential heritage properties, the Elora Gorge (with geomorphologist Dr. Ken Hewitt), discussions about creating a Heritage Conservation District in Elora, and stories about significant builder families in the area (the Stafford Family in Elora, and the Gow Family in Fergus).

One episode featured the former Chalmers Church, now the home of One Axe Pursuits, an excellent example of adaptive reuse of a dilapidated heritage building. One Axe Pursuits is an adventure sports company, and one of the innovative aspects of this reuse project is the use of the historic steeple to teach rappelling skills.

Wightman TV has given permission to eventually deposit these programs into local libraries and county archives, making these permanent records available to all. They are not currently available to view outside of the local broadcast area, but we will share them with you when we can.

Heritage Toronto's "Changing the Narrative: State of

Heritage Report 2019" In March, the city of Toronto celebrated the 185th anniversary of its incorporation. A few

Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACORN) in a Nutshell Newsletter's ... Page 47 of 70 AGENDA ITEM #3.(d)

weeks earlier, Heritage Toronto released its State of Heritage Report.

In the words of Heritage Toronto, "The Report’s goal is to inform all Torontonians about the contributions made by those who participate in the heritage sector, including developers, BIAs, community groups, property owners, renters, historical societies, volunteers, and financial supporters. Municipal decision-makers should read this Report, take inspiration from the good work underway throughout the city, and develop the political will to make bold choices that protect and support the diverse heritage sector in Toronto. It is clear the sector needs to be better resourced, but there are often alternative, strategic solutions to be found. This Report presents the actions, the hopes, and the hurdles of our heritage sector."

Architectural Conservancy of Ontario (ACORN) in a Nutshell Newsletter's ... Page 51 of 70 AGENDA ITEM #3.(d)

buildings that dramatically changed the urban landscape in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. The monumental North American factories like these also influenced the architects of the European Avant Garde who produced the style we know as Modern. That style then migrated back to North America after the Second World War and found fertile ground in Kitchener with its industrial heritage, European connections and progressive tendencies. The city was almost completely rebuilt by a group of seven local architectural firms practicing in the style of the international modernists. The lecture will give a heavily illustrated account of the dominance of modern architecture in Kitchener.

Re: By-gone days of Baysville

Thank you for taking the time to listen to myself and Shirley about our educational and informative history project.

As someone who was born, raised and lived in Baysville for most my life (the call of the wild has always brought me back), the bygone days of Baysville have long been a passion of mine. With history so rich and colourful, I feel it really needs to be on display and shared with everyone.

For the past five years, I have had this vision of Baysville having its own museum. I wasn’t’ sure how it was going to happen, or even if it would happen, but I figured that if I were to put it out there something would eventually come up. While doing so, Stacey from the Baysville library suggested the idea of possibly having the local businesses of Baysville make available some wall space inside their establishments. Brilliant idea, seeing as, I highly doubt that someone will pass away and leave us a building for a museum. Even if they did, myself nor the Township wouldn’t be in any position to take on the expense of upkeep or taxes, of such a building.

Taking Stacey’s idea, I have discussed this with a few of the business owners in Baysville and most are on board to give us space, but any financial contribution is yet to be determined. We have 15 eligible businesses in Baysville (eligible meaning storefront that is accessible to the general public). Also, 3 Township owned buildings and 3 churches, which could all be potential hosts. Other than the library, I am leaving the other two buildings and the churches for the last phase. The phases are found attached here.

The Baysville General Store, Humble Pie, and The Fuel Emporium are ready to participate, while others have committed space, but details are yet to be discussed. Depending on how much wall space that is available in each business will determine the size and cost of the display.

As an example, Humble Pie is able to commit enough wall space to display 8 each 8x10 & 4 5x7, with the cost as follows. and the costs are as follows:

• Wood frames with glass protection –Value Village /Sal Mart – 6 each 8x10 = $8.00 (already purchased by me). I will keep an eye out for other inexpensive or free wooden frames and hope for others to do the same, to keep cost down.

• Scanning and printing of photo of 8x10 – 6 each @ $8.00 = $48.00 (quote from Cavalcade) & 4 - 5 x 7 @ $4.00 each = $16.00

• Hardware to install = $2.00

TOTAL - $74.00

Judy Vanclieaf, Baysville Resident Shirley Prittie, Baysville Resident R... Page 59 of 70 AGENDA ITEM #4.(a)

So, this now brings me to your involvement:

Jacquie Godard suggested to me that I might consider partnering with the Lake of Bays Heritage Advisory Committee and I quickly agreed. What I am asking your committee is for your expert advice, guidance, man-power and financial support in getting this project off the ground.

Shirley and I, who both share a passion for Baysville’s history, are going to be working on this together and I am waiting for a third person to get back to me. Shirley and I would be honoured to have three people from LoBHAC come aboard in order to make this project fun, interesting and impactful with the intent of educating our local history to the general public and tourists.

I would like to see this happen in four, possibly 5 phases with the last phase left open ‘to be determined’ as this project progresses.

If LoBHAC Is in agreement, I ask if we could set up a working committee, led by me, to get this project started for a completion date of Thanksgiving.

We can then look at Dwight and Dorset for future consideration. Linda Clarke-Boothby has expressed interest in Dwight.

Thank you for your time,

Judy Vanclieaf

Dear Municipal Heritage Committee Chairperson,

Pleased see the following announcement regarding proposed amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act.

From: Beaudin, Lisa (MTCS) On Behalf Of Finnerty, Kevin (MTCS) Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Proposed Amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act

Hello,

It was announced May 2, 2019, that the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport is proposing amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act to support the Housing Supply Action Plan.

The proposed amendments will improve transparency and efficiency in municipal decision-making, while continuing to protect the cultural heritage resources that communities’ value.

Key proposed changes would bring improvements to the designation and listing processes; facilitate timely and transparent decision-making; and provide for consistency in appeals processes.

Full details of the proposed amendments are posted on the provincial Environmental Registry for public review until June 1, 2019, at https://ero.ontario.ca/notice/019-0021. We invite you to provide comments through this website.

Further opportunities to provide input on the development of regulations and guidance that support the proposed amendments will be available later this year.

Thank you,

Kevin Finnerty Assistant Deputy Minister Culture Division
