Mr. Bertrand Duclos, Heritage Outreach Consultant Municipal Heritage Committees & Assistants c/o Culture Services Unit Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport 401 Bay Street, Suite 1700 Toronto, Ontario M7A 0A7

Dear Mr. Duclos:

In reply to your recent request made on behalf of Municipal Heritage Committees and their assistants, permission is hereby granted to examine closed parcel registers, copies of documents originally registered in paper and copies of plans in the registry office in the Province of Ontario without payment of normal tariff fee and subject to the following conditions:

Information obtained is to be used only for research of a non-commercial historical nature; specific information related to the individual properties must not be released in such a form as to cause embarrassment to the current owners.

Please be advised that a statutory fee is required to access current parcel registers and documents through the automated system.

Permission to investigate land registry office records without charge, does not include the supply of copies of records.

A search of the historical abstract index records must not be done during peak periods of operations.

Where title records being searched are required by solicitors or title searchers, those books must be given up upon request. In effect, solicitors and title searchers, who must make a title search in order to complete a land transaction, must be given priority with respect to the records.

In order to limit the demands on the land registry office staff, the number of records to be produced in one day may be limited at the discretion of the Operations Manager in a specific location.

Incorporation meeting – May 8th at the PenCenMuseum – 7:00 p.m.

Prior to the meeting Moreland, Mayor Marshall and Nicole met Rob Leverty of OHS at the museum and escorted Rob on a tour – capably led by Nicole. Rob was very complimentary of the museum. Leslie and Moreland hosted a light dinner for the pro tem elected directors prior to the meeting at their home.

Regrets received: John Gignac, John Dubeau, Joe Maurice, Paul McD, Carole Gerow, Nicole Jackson, Pat Harwood, Mayor Gerry Marshall.

Present: Steve Robillard, Leslie Lynn, Claudia Cochrane, Gwen Patterson, Fred Patterson, Keith Day, Jenny Leroux, Jack Scott, Tom Lackey, Moreland Lynn. Guest: Rob Leverty Ontario Historical Society.

Moreland explained the main purpose of the meeting was to apply for incorporation affiliated with the Ontario Historical Society and outlined the advantages and necessity of this step. Moreland presented a summary of the group’s work over the past 36 months – noting that its first meeting was in June 2010. There has been a huge amount of information collected and research undertaken.

Moreland and Tom presented the updated PowerPoint Presentation.

Rob Leverty explained the role of the OHS in incorporating history related groups and some of the advantages, support and promotion which OHS could offer. Rob also explained the board of OHS would next meet on May 25th and the incorporation could be considered by the Board at that meeting. The next meeting would not be until September. Without a formal organization, the group is unable to qualify for funding from most funding sources and, consequently, the formal structure is vital moving forward.

The proposed constitution. Moreland thanked Leslie, Claudia and others who had made suggestions and worked on preparing the draft constitution, including Don Clarkson of the Ships Company. Following discussion, while it was acknowledged that while “The Place of the White Rolling Sands” is an excellent, relevant and identifiable name, it might better be applied as the “trading name”. After discussion it was: Moved by Steve and Seconded by Jenny that the incorporated name be Penetanguishene Historical Society. CARRIED. Leslie agreed to make the changes to the constitution to conform to the new name. There will have to be a special meeting of the board to accept the constitution as amended prior to about May 20th to get the documents to the OHS prior to its May 25th board meeting. To put off the incorporation until the September meeting would be too much of a delay.

Motion. It was moved by Jack Scott and seconded by Fred Patterson that the constitution, as amended, be adopted as the Constitution of the Penetanguishene Historical Society and that a special meeting of the board will be convened to adopt the constitution as amended prior to May 20th.

Directors. At the April 10th meeting the group accepted the election of directors (pro tem) of the proposed Corporation. To confirm this appointment, recognizing the name change it was: Moved by Gwen Patterson and seconded by Leslie Lynn that Keith Day, John Gignac, Jack Scott, Fred Patterson, Jenny Leroux, Steve Robillard and Moreland Lynn be the directors of the Penetanguishene Historical Society. Carried

It is acknowledged that a secretary must be appointed prior to the OHS incorporating the company and a secretary must be found prior to May 20th if the incorporation is to proceed at the May 25th OHS meeting.

MOTION TO INCORPORATE. With the above motions in place it was further Moved by: Keith Day Seconded by: Claudia Cochrane Be it resolved that the Penetanguishene Historical Society formally apply for incorporation through affiliation with the Ontario Historical Society. Carried It is acknowledged that this resolution must be signed by the President and the Secretary and must be forwarded to the OHS by May 20th. The application must also be accompanied by a payment of $455 for incorporation by affiliation.

Rob offered that by meeting with the group and learning of our ambitious project he felt confident that his board would be support the incorporation.

Memberships. One of the requirements of incorporation is that there is formal membership. Moreland presented a draft membership sample. It is proposed that memberships be issued for the years 2013 and 2014 for the amount of $20. per person as an initial fee. Following discussion it was: Moved by Jack Scott and seconded by Keith Day that membership forms be prepared and distributed and the membership fee be $20 for the years 2013 and 2014. There was positive discussion and the motion was CARRIED.

Moreland verbally presented a list of things which can be done and next steps to be taken.

RISK MANAGEMENT There are no identified risk management issues.

SUSTAINABILITY Well-maintained heritage properties give communities a unique character and enrich our quality of life. Restoring heritage properties has been a catalyst for revitalizing historic town centres and drawing residents, businesses and visitors to communities. While heritage properties provide benefit and enjoyment to the whole community, most of these properties are in private ownership.

COMMUNICATION A copy of By-law 2011-92 Heritage Tax Rebate was provided to all qualifying heritage properties on November 30, 2011 and on January 3, 2012.

Property owners will be notified directly of Committee’s decision.

STRATEGIC GOALS & OBJECTIVES It is a strategic goal of the Town to promote and conserve our local heritage. The Heritage Tax Rebate Program recognizes the property owners of designated heritage property within the municipality and assists these property owners in heritage preservation and conservation.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM

Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 re: Official Program Page 62 of 116

WelcomeThe Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, Community Heritage Ontario, and the Organizing Committee of the Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 are pleased to welcome you to this year’s conference, located in Huronia, and, in particular, the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene and the Township of Tay.

Huronia is one of the most historic regions in Canada and a traditional meeting place for our founding cultures. First visited by Europeans about 1610, Huronia provided the cradle for European civilization in Upper Canada. In the four centuries since, waves of settlement and industrialization, including lumbering, railroads, Great Lakes shipping and shipbuilding, have left their imprint across the area, as evidenced by numerous archaeological sites, hundreds of properties on our three municipal heritage registers, and the newly-refurbished S.S. Keewatin, repatriated to her home port of Port McNicoll after a 46 year absence.

Entitled Rediscover the Past to Enhance the Future, this conference will bring together historians and heritage advocates, volunteers, consultants, municipal planners and provincial administrators.

The conference will feature a range of expert speakers with absorbing sessions that reflect on historic and heritage issues of compelling interest, with an underlying theme of the role of heritage in economic development.

We are fortunate to have three prominent speakers to address our Conference. Our keynote speaker on Friday morning will be Dr. Alan Taylor. The Honourable David Crombie will speak at our dinner on Friday evening. Finally, our Saturday night dinner at Discovery Harbour will feature an address by Dr. Andrew Nicholls.

The program includes tours of unique heritage sites such as Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, Discovery Harbour and the S.S. Keewatin. Optional pre-conference events on Thursday June 6 include a self-directed road tour (the “magical history tour”), and an opening reception at the Huronia Museum. The Conference will be centred at the Midland Cultural Centre, with some breakout sessions close by at the Midland Library or St Paul’s United Church. On Saturday morning, June 8, delegates may opt to attend sessions and tours based at the Centennial Museum in Penetanguishene. The plenary session and closing activities will take place on Saturday afternoon, June 8 at the Midland Cultural Centre.

At this Conference you will have an opportunity to meet other “heritage aware” people and participate in meaningful discussions with question and answer segments in conservation, archeology and history. All of this helps to drive the Ontario economy, to enhance its tourist appeal and emphasize the role of heritage in economic development.

We thank the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario, and Community Heritage Ontario, under whose auspices these annual conferences are held, for their leadership in these areas. We have relied greatly on Municipal support for this Conference, readily available from the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene and the Township of Tay. Your hosts are the Organizing Committee, including representatives from three local Heritage Committees and the organizations above. Our heartfelt appreciation goes to the tireless members of our Committee who have done a wonderful job of making this conference possible.

Welcome to Huronia from June 6 to June 9, 2013!

(But for those arriving on Thursday, June 6, don’t forget the fun pre-conference events.)

Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 re: Official Program Page 63 of 116 Ahneen – Bienvenue - Welcome Thank you for coming to visit us in one of the most heritage-rich areas of Ontario. As you can see from the salutation, Midland has long been the confluence of many significant geographical and historical events. This Conference, in helping us rediscover our past, will set us on a path for a better future for all. Your visit is an important part of that discovery. The Conference will keep you fully engaged, but please take a few moments to enjoy the natural heritage of Georgian Bay; learn of our special relationship with the First Nations peoples; visit the Huronia Museum for tales of our recent history, or experience our arts heritage at the newly created Midland Cultural Centre. Please accept my personal invitation to make yourself at home in Huronia.

Gord McKay, Mayor Gord McKay, Mayor Town of Midland

Dear Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 Delegates, Welcome to Huronia and to Penetanguishene! The Town of Penetanguishene is one of the oldest in Canada west of Quebec City. “Penetanguishene” is an Algonquin name devised by the Abinaki tribe meaning “place of the white rolling sands.” Our first arrival from New France, Etienne Brule arrived in nearby Toanche before 1615, sent by the governor, Samuel de Champlain, to learn the ways of the Huron Nations and establish and consolidate commercial fur trade contacts. Later, after the War of 1812, the British naval and military base on Penetanguishene Bay (now Discovery Harbour) provided the backbone for the defense of the Great Lakes.As you enter the Town between the Angels of Friendship, you see our heritage homes and businesses, built in a variety of styles from Gothic Revival, Georgian, Queen Anne Revival, Romanesque, and Classical, as rich and diverse as our culture and history - all nestled in the beauty of our harbour. Penetanguishene welcomes you with open arms! All the best, Gerry Marshall, Mayor Gerry Marshall, Mayor Town of Penetanguishene

To our visitors to the 2013 Ontario Heritage Conference: Welcome to Huronia and the Township of Tay! We are very pleased to participate in this year’s Conference in historic Huronia, and are sure that you will enjoy the wide range of activities planned for you. Of particular note, Tay has major historic sites that are key to understanding the development of Canada as a whole. Your program includes the opportunity to tour the headquarters of the first Christian mission in Canada, Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, destroyed in 1649 but now reconstructed on its original site. In the 19th century lumbering towns of Victoria Harbour and Waubaushene, you will find many surviving examples of company- built workers’ housing and public amenities. Lastly you will have 2 opportunities to tour the iconic S.S. Keewatin, the last surviving member of the C.P.R.’s fleet of steamships based in Port McNicoll after 1912. Enjoy your stay with us!

Terry and his wife Anita retired to full-time residence in the former lumber mill town of Waubaushene, Township of Tay, in 2009. However they had been frequent visitors to the family home there for many years. In fact Terry lived and started school in Waubaushene (in the original one-room school house). Terry represents the third generation to live in the family home, built as a meeting hall circa 1910. The property, now listed, was featured in Doors Open in 2011.

Terry’s working career included financial management positions Terry Fegarty in the computer and retail industries, and community college Co – Chair professor in business. Now he serves as Vice-Chair of the Tay Heritage Committee, contributes to the Tay Heritage Blog and indulges his long-held interest in the history and architecture of Huronia.

Terry and Anita look forward to meeting you in Historic Huronia!

After her career in social work, Sue and her husband Rob both retired and moved to Midland. She has served on the town’s Planning Advisory Committee and the Midland Heritage Committee during the past ten years or so. Aspirations to increase the number of designated homes and other buildings are currently high on her ‘to do’ list. As current Chair of the Midland Heritage Committee, Sue warmly welcomes all the delegates to the Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 to learn, enjoy and meet some fellow delegates with a similar view to the preservation of our glorious past.

Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 re: Official Program Page 68 of 116 Community Heritage Ontario

Community Heritage Ontario (CHO/PCO) Community Heritage Ontario (CHO/PCO) is the province-wide umbrella organization of municipally appointed heritage committees. CHO’s mission is to advocate for heritage in Ontario, to encourage the development of local volunteer heritage advisory committees and to further the identification, preservation, interpretation and wise use of community heritage: locally, provincially and nationally.

CHO represents the interests of heritage committees, advocates for effective new heritage legislation and policies, produces the quarterly CHOnews, conducts regional workshops, cooperates with other heritage groups and holds province-wide conferences, such as this Ontario Heritage Conference 2013.

Roscoe Petkovic is President of Community Heritage Ontario. He became president of CHO - PCO in 2011 after a 20 year career as a design engineer and engineering consultant. As chairman of CHO-PCO, he has been instrumental in the creation of its interactive web logging site.

He is a member of Heritage Halton Hills Committee, a founding member of the Halton Hills Cultural Round-table, past president of Georgetown Little Theatre, and a member of Globe Musical Productions.

Recently, he has been involved in the conception, design and implementation of Historic Story-Boards in the Town of Halton Hills, recognizing the Victory Homes built for our servicemen and women. In addition and as part of the MHC of Halton Hills, he was involved in the recognition of the important part that the people of Georgetown played, in rescuing and giving sanction to the “Georgetown Boys”… Armenian children, mostly orphans, escaping the genocide that took place in the 1930s. As part of this recognition, the local Cedarvale Park (where the children were housed), was designated and a plaque raised to commemorate “Canada’s Noble Experiment”.

Session 1A Fighting Negligence, Trying to Deter Neglect of Heritage Buildings Extended health care for the old and infirm TIME 1:30 pm – 3:00 pm LOCATION St. Paul’s United Church OVERVIEW How to deter neglect?

Heritage buildings are not just relics from the past, pretty perhaps but not very relevant, but can provide lessons and templates for the future. Our presenters will share preventative strategies as well as stories on specific cases.

Romanesque features such as the mansard roof, the high central gable, the cut limestone stonework and the picturesque corner porch and tower all bespeak this influence. The building has since been extensively renovated and extended, but retains many features reflective of its original era. Our sessions will be held in the Library Assembly Room on the lower level of the recent addition. Huronia Museum, Midland Huronia Museum, a not-for-profit organization, was created in 1947 to collect objects of historical significance, which are housed and exhibited for the continued education and benefit of the public. The Museum building houses the collections and an art gallery. On the grounds, there is a replica of a “pre-contact” Huron/Wendat village, including a lookout tower, wigwam and a full-size longhouse. The exhibit gallery features tens of thousands of historic artifacts: objects, papers, photographs and ephemera that relate to Wendat/Huron and Ojibwa First Nations Peoples, the marine history of Georgian Bay, and Euro-Canadian and Canadian material culture pertaining to Huronia. The Historic Art of Huronia Gallery displays art, artists and art forms of the Georgian Bay region, including a substantial collection of the work of Group of Seven artists A.Y.

Since then, he has devoted his energy to the work of Community Heritage Ontario, and is working on his sixth consecutive successful Ontario Heritage Conference.

Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 40 In Historic Huronia

Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 re: Official Program Page 101 of 116 Other Sites Of Historic Interest Huronia Historical Parks Huronia Historical Parks operates two major attractions of the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport: Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons and Discovery Harbour.

About Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons

Ontario’s first European Community, Sainte-Marie Among the Hurons was the headquarters for the French Jesuit Mission to the Huron Wendat people. In 1639, the Jesuits, along with French lay workers, began construction of a fenced community that included barracks, a church, workshops, residences, and a sheltered area for Native visitors. By 1648, Sainte-Marie was a wilderness home to 66 French men, representing one-fifth of the entire population of New France. Sainte-Marie’s brief history ended in 1649, when increasing attacks by Iroquois from the south forced the Jesuit missionaries, their helpers and Wendat followers to burn the settlement and abandon it. The ruins of Sainte-Marie lay undisturbed for almost three centuries. After extensive archaeological and historical research, Sainte- Marie among the Hurons is now recreated on its original site.

About Discovery Harbour

Discovery Harbour traces its roots back to the original British naval and military base in Penetanguishene, built to safeguard access to Upper Canada after the War of 1812. “His Majesty’s Naval Establishment on Lake Huron”, (as it was first called) kept ships prepared to supply British posts to the northwest. By 1820, it was home to over 70 people, including sailors, officers, shipwrights, and soldiers. Five large ships, 15 smaller vessels, and numerous workshops and dwellings were built. In 1828, a British army garrison on Drummond Island was relocated to Penetanguishene, whereas naval operations ceased in 1834. British officers, their families, French traders and Metis were joined by British Army pensioners who settled in the area. The military occupied the site until 1856. Today’s Discovery Harbour is a picturesque historic site situated on beautiful Penetanguishene Bay. Throughout the summer, visitors enjoy daily interactive tours and on-site activities that reflect life and work at this 19th century outpost. The impressive stone Officers’ Quarters, built in 1845, is a highlight. Discovery Harbour is also the homeport of the replica 19th century ships H.M.S. Bee and H.M.S. Tecumseth.

Historic Walking Tours The Towns of Huronia, including Midland and Penetanguishene offer free historic walking/driving tours. These self-guided tours are a great way to explore and celebrate some of our 19th century properties and other features of interest. A sample of these tours can be found in your delegate’s package.

Ontario Heritage Conference 2013 re: Official Program Page 102 of 116 Martyrs’ Shrine, on Hwy 12, Tay Township The Martyrs’ Shrine is a Roman Catholic Church just east of Midland, on Highway 12. It was consecrated in 1926 to the memory of the Canadian Martyrs, six Jesuit priests and two lay persons from the mission of Sainte-Marie among the Hurons, where they shared the Christian faith with the Huron/Wendat peoples in the 1600’s. The martyrs were canonized by Pope Pius XI in 1930 and are recognized as patron saints of Canada. The grounds include the Shrine Church, 75 pleasantly landscaped acres, a gift shop, café, museum, archive, outdoor altars, votary, outdoor Stations of the Cross and over 30 monuments.

St Ann’s Church, Penetanguishene St Ann’s is the first shrine built in memory of the Canadian Martyrs. The cornerstone of the present church was laid in 1886 and construction was completed in 1902. The style is late Romanesque, and the church is sometimes referred to as “The Cathedral of the North”. There are four bells in the tower, the oldest and smallest one dating to 1799 and reputed to have been taken from one of two U.S. warships, , the Tigress and the Scorpion, captured during the War of 1812.

St. James - On - The – Lines Church, Penetanguishene This Anglican Church, intended to serve as a garrison church, was erected in 1836- 1838 on the Penetanguishene military reserve. The term “on-the-lines” refers to its location on the “lines of communication” and supply between the military base and York (Toronto). Building funds were obtained largely through the exertions of the local commander, Captain John Moberly, R.N. The unique center aisle was built wide enough to allow soldiers to march four abreast. It was also attended by military pensioners and civilians. Until the` 1870’s, it housed the only Protestant congregation in the vicinity. Many of the community’s pioneers and military leaders are buried in its cemetery. The bell in the steeple is reputed to be a prize of war removed from one of two U.S. warships, the Tigress and the Scorpion, captured during the War of 1812. The other prize of war bell is in St. Ann’s Cathedral in Penetanguishene.

Royal Canadian Legion Museum, Midland The Ken Snider Memorial Museum, maintained by Royal Canadian Legion Branch 80 of Midland, features military artifacts that highlight the important contributions the men and women of the Midland area have made from the First World War to the present day. The museum houses a 1942 Chevrolet army truck restored by local resident Ken Snider and a large variety of memorabilia such as uniforms, medals and munitions from the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War. Also featured is a M114 155mm towed howitzer, first produced in 1942 as a medium artillery piece. It saw service during the Second World War and the Korean War, and was used by the armed forces of many nations, including Canada.
