4. Presentation/Discussion
4.1 592 Kingston Road West: Review of Proposed Alterations
1 Heritage Advisory Committee February 29, 2012 Page 2
Ms. Michelle McCarthy, Planner, provided a summary of Ms. Letourneau’s proposal and noted that she was seeking approval of the Committee to move forward with restoration efforts. She noted that the property owners have made several cost inquiries with regard to potential restoration materials, specifically for the siding and south and west façade windows.
Ms. Fanny Letourneau, property owner, reviewed the proposed alterations to the siding, windows and front door of 592 Kingston Road West. She noted details of the proposed alterations to include replacement of the existing white siding with red vinyl siding to return the house to its original redbrick colour
Ms. Letourneau’s proposal included replacement of all south (front) and west facing windows to their original form and detail (6 over 6 double hung window) using specially constructed, high energy efficient, pine wood windows. The front door transom and half sidelights will be replaced with the same wood window of the same profile as existing. The front door will be replaced with a black metal door in keeping with the original look of the front entrance. The existing black shutters will be refinished in black and reinstalled. The front door, transom and half sidelights will be replaced with a black metal door to match the shutters in keeping with the original look of the front entrance. The existing black shutters will be refinished and reinstalled. The eaves troughs will be replaced with high grade metal troughing, dark charcoal gray in colour, with deep troughs and antique white struts. No fundamental structural changes to the property were noted.
Members raised questions relative to the replacement of the vinyl siding and inquired whether insulation will be replaced during the process. Members inquired the financial impact of restoring the property’s original brick. Ms. Letourneau noted that it is anticipated that minimal insulation will require removal during the siding replacement. She advised that restoration of the original brick exterior is not a financially feasible option at this time, however during replacement of the siding the condition of the brick would be determined and that restoration may be considered at a later date.
Moved by: K. Bachmeier Seconded by: K. McCulloch
That the restoration proposal for 592 Kingston Road West be approved by the Heritage Advisory Committee as presented.
CARRIED
4.2 Art in Public Spaces Policy Updates and Public Art Review Panel Participation
Mr. Gruber noted that Council had recently approved the revised Art in Public Spaces Policy. The amendments recommended by staff provide for greater clarity in the acquisition process, provide for increased Council input, as well as engagement opportunities to engage the creative community. The approved process was noted to include a Public Art Review Panel in place of the Recreation & Culture Advisory Committee’s review role. It provides for Council’s initial input prior to any submission call or commission in addition to final approval of the piece.
2 Heritage Advisory Committee February 29, 2012 Page 3
Mr. Gruber noted that the amended policy provides for participation of one representative each from the Recreation & Culture Advisory Committee, Heritage Advisory Committee, and Diversity & Community Engagement Advisory Committee. He reviewed details relative to the selection criteria and evaluation process. Several priority locations were noted for public art installations over the next five years, including Audley recreation Centre, Pat Bayly Square, Pickering Village, Greenwood Conservation Area, the Greenwood Discovery Pavilion and the Ajax Community Centre.
Members raised questions relative to the frequency of meetings for the Review Panel. Mr. Gruber noted that the Panel will meet only when required and will be appointed for the term of Council. Members discussed the subjectivity of art review and critique and raised questions relative to the evaluation methods. The criteria used to review submissions were noted to be in a scored format. The Committee inquired whether the public will have the opportunity to attend meetings of the review panel. Mr. Gruber noted that public consultation beyond the panel could be sought if the piece was deemed controversial.
Mr. Bachmeier expressed interest in participating on behalf of the Committee.
Additionally, Mr. Gruber discussed details of a plaque unveiling in recognition of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebration. The bronze plaque, designed by landscape architect, Mr. Andrew Jackson, will be unveiled at Heritage Square on May 29, 2012. The plaque will depict the Town crest and the Queen’s official Diamond Jubilee emblem for Canada. Mr. Gruber noted that the event will include participation from local schools to sing the national anthem as well as a simple reception.
Ms. Pierre proposed including participation of the colour party of the local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, as well as engaging children with stamp and coin collecting. Councilor Dies proposed displaying the painted portrait of the Queen from the Ajax Archives alongside a book for people to sign celebratory wishes to the Queen.
Councillor Dies and Ms. Moore proposed hosting a celebration event such as an afternoon tea and solicited feedback from the Committee. The St. Francis Centre during Doors Open on September 29 was noted as a potential date and venue for programming. Mr. Gruber encouraged the Committee to prepare a proposal. A brief discussion item relative to the event is to be included on the April 4, 2012 Meeting agenda. Councillor Dies requested that the Diamond Jubilee event opportunity also be shared with members of the Diversity & Community Engagement Advisory Committee.
4.3 Amending Designation By-laws 497 Kingston Road West 22 Linton Avenue
Ms. Chrus noted minor amendments required to the addresses listed in designation by-laws for 497 Kingston Road West and 22 Linton Avenue. She advised that the property owners will be notified of the proposed amendments and that the amended by-laws will be presented to the General Government Committee and Council in April for approval. Once Council has approved the amendments, notice will be sent to the property owners that there will be a thirty day appeal period. After the appeal period concludes, the by-laws will be brought forward to Council for final approval.

4.4 Update of HCD Study
Ms. Chrus noted that the contract for the Heritage District study had been awarded to Phillip H. Carter Architect & Planner. The firm was noted to be experienced in conduction of several district studies that moved forward to the designation of heritage districts. She provided information on a forthcoming public meeting to be held in May, to present information on the background research of the study.
Members inquired whether any pushback is anticipated. Ms. Chrus reviewed several concerns that were presented during preliminary public meetings and noted that she is working on development of a communications plan to assist with providing clarity and awareness of the project. The website was identified as the first communications tool. Ms. Chrus added that the consultant has expertise in managing the concerns of local BIA members with the development of a Heritage District study. Communications were noted to focus on the Pickering Village property owners, as well as the Town at large. Ms. Chris noted the benefits of having a third party consultant to provide impartial insight on the project and to act as a mediator.
4.5 Nomination of a Heritage Advisory Committee Members for Pickering Village Heritage Conservation District Steering Committee
Ms. Chrus discussed the creation of a Heritage Conservation District Steering Committee that will include membership from staff, the public and the Heritage Advisory Committee. The Committee will meet approximately three times throughout the course of the project to participate in discussion of the Heritage Conservation District Study research. It was noted that meetings will be held in the day, and that membership will also include a commercial property owner and a representative from the Pickering Village BIA.

Ms. Pierre and Ms. McCulloch were thanked for their participation with the event.
4.9 Heritage Property Inventory & Register 411 Information Sheet
Ms. Chrus provided a brief overview of the existing heritage property listing system as well as the proposed heritage registry system. She noted a correction that properties added to a heritage registry need not meet the Criteria for Determining Cultural Heritage value or Interest, Ontario Regulation 9/06. Properties included on a registry will be granted an additional 60 days for designation in the event a demolition permit is requested for such property.
Members inquired whether a property owner can object to having their property included on the registry. Ms. Chris noted that all owners of proposed registry properties will be notified in writing, however inclusion of properties is at the discretion of Council.

Memorial Park Gates & Cenotaph
In 1919 interested citizens of Pickering Village with the Chamber of Commerce and Women’s Institute proposed that the Village should have a memorial to those men who had paid the supreme sacrifice in the First World War.
A 4 ½ acre site was purchased for $1,800 by the Chamber of Commerce in 1922 and opened as a park. The Memorial Entrance Gate was constructed in 1922 along Church Street North. Shortly thereafter, two cenotaph cairns were erected honouring the young men from Pickering Township who died in W.W.I.
Historically, the entrance gates were an intrinsic part of the major focal point of the Village. Memorial Park was the venue of the popular Dominion Day festivities from 1922 to at least the 1950’s, and subsequently the Village Festival in the 1970’s and 80’s. The cenotaph was the site of Remembrance Day ceremonies until 1974.
At one time the park contained bleachers and a large platform and was used for baseball tournaments, football games, fireworks displays, track and field meets and many concerts featuring local talent.

STATEMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE VALUE OR INTEREST
Description of Property - Memorial Park Gates and Cenotaph also known as Parts 1 and 2 on Reference Plan 40R-27310
The iron entrance gates and nearby cenotaph at Memorial Park, located on Church Street North, were constructed in or around 1922 shortly after the park was purchased by the Pickering Village Chamber of Commerce. The gates are unique to Ajax and have a strong association with the adjoining neighbourhood park.
Statement of Cultural Value or Interest
The structures' cultural heritage value results from their historical significance and their importance as a cultural heritage landscape.
Historically, the entrance gates were an intrinsic part of the major focal point of the village. Memorial Park was the venue of the popular Dominion Day festivities from 1922 to at least the 1950s, and subsequently the Village Festival in the 1970s and 80s. The cenotaph was the site of Remembrance Day ceremonies until 1974.
Aesthetically, the gates represent a formal entrance to Memorial Park and give it a special character unlike that of any other park in Ajax. While the nearby cenotaph is no longer used for Remembrance Day ceremonies, it complements the gates and the adjacent library and provides a point of interest for families using the park.
Description of Heritage Attributes
The key attributes exhibited by this landscape feature include:
1) The gates' prominence on the Church Street North streetscape as a longstanding formal entrance to Memorial Park;
2) The uniqueness and high quality design of the wrought iron gates;
3) Its quality of construction, exemplified by the fact that it has stood for almost 90 years without requiring any major repairs; and
-- 4) The longstanding association of both structures with special events that have taken place in the park, including Dominion Day festivities, the Pickering Village Festival and Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Session 4C) Tour of Providence Manor Chapel and Print Museum Maximum number of attendees = 40
Providence Manor has undergone many architectural additions and changes since it was first acquired by the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul in 1861. The original pre-1838 structure served for many years as an Artillery Mess House, featuring a prominent stone wall which still stands tall over parts of Montreal and Ordnance Streets. The site is now a complex of adjoining buildings, blending a variety architectural styles. In 1898 a beautiful Gothic sanctuary was added. “Our Mother of Sorrows Chapel” features splendid woodwork, beautiful stained-glass windows, and an original Casavant organ, installed at the time of construction. A 2003 restoration of the chapel was recognized by a Heritage Restoration Award from the Frontenac Heritage Foundation. In 1893 the Sisters saw the need for a printing office to produce such congregational material as circulars, obituaries, periodicals and small books. A room on the ground floor of Providence Manor, below the chapel, was dedicated to its use. By 1899 its first work, a book of meditations, was published. Soon thereafter the Sisters began to outsource additional work to local businesses and institutions, publishing as well the popular and highly-distributed Guardian Magazine for children. Although much of its equipment was updated regularly over the years, by 1989, computer technology and desktop publishing had superseded the facility’s practical operation. Today the museum houses a variety of decades-old inventions, such as a linotype machine and a platen press. It is a fascinating testament to the history of printing technology!

54 Session 6C) A tour of the Pump House Steam Museum Maximum number of attendees = 40
Come and see what got the world all fired up! Steam - the fuel of the last century powered engines, locomotives and the pumps of this former municipal waterworks. The Pump House Steam Museum at 23 Ontario Street, which opened officially in 1973, was restored by the Frontenac Society of Model Engineers as their centennial gift to the City of Kingston. The Pump House Steam Museum was once the City's main Pump House. It was built c. 1849, and remodeled in the 1890s in the Richardson style. The museum is now used for the conservation, presentation and demonstration of artifacts from the Industrial Steam era. Within the focus room of the museum, you will find two original working steam-driven water pumps which supplied Kingston with water until 1944. Elsewhere in the museum you will find other steam engines, a children's hands-on Science Discovery Center, and model railroads, their equipment and railroad history (including the train set from the show The Friendly Giant). Outside of the museum you can get up close to a variety of steam engines and also see the restored steam launch Phoebe.

Two-Castle Tour: Boldt and Singer Castles, USA Time: 8:30 am to 6 pm. Cost: $115 incl. taxes As part of its 40th Anniversary celebrations, the Frontenac Heritage Foundation is hosting a boat cruise and tour of Boldt and Singer Castles, USA. The cruise is being offered through Rockport Boat Line, and features a hot/cold buffet lunch catered by the Island View Restaurant. Boldt and Singer Castles occupy two of the “Thousand Islands” – a wondrous maze of isles which dot the west end of the St. Lawrence River, extending east from Kingston. Scores of tourists flock to the Kingston area each year just to embark on a tour of the islands, to marvel at their natural beauty, and to admire the magnificent historic homes and ‘cottages’ many of them feature.
58 The town of Rockport is approximately 45 km east of downtown Kingston. A shuttle bus will depart from Confederation Park at 8:30 am sharp, and return by 6pm. The cruise and tours proper last from 10 am to 4:30 pm. Boldt Castle – It was the summer of 1900, when the millionaire proprietor of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York, George C. Boldt, spent the first of four summers on Heart Island with his family. The castle was to be a testament to George’s love for his wife, Louise. Its construction employed 300 labourers, including stonemasons, carpenters and artists. The 120-room castle featured tunnels, a powerhouse, Italian gardens, a drawbridge, and a dove cote. But, tragically, Louise died suddenly in 1904. George immediately telegraphed the island, ordering all construction to a halt. The uncompleted structure was left to the elements until 1977, when it was purchased by the Thousand Islands Bridge Authority. Millions have since been spent on its rehabilitation. Singer Castle – The construction of Singer Castle on Dark Island was completed in 1904. It was built by self-made millionaire, Frederick Bourne of Singer sewing machine fame. The Castle has granite walls, turrets, 28 rooms, and an elaborate clock tower that raises 5 storeys above the St. Lawrence River. It contains concealed passageways, and even a dungeon! *Detailed information about the cruise and tours can be found at: http://rockportcruises.com/159/two-castle-tour Note: a valid passport is required for this event
