None.
3. Review and Approval of Meeting Notes and Recommendations, 24 August 2020 (moved by Graham and seconded by Rammy).
4. Register Beasley Heritage Project (presentation by Carol Priamo, Project Director, with comments from Alissa Golden)
Carol explained that part of the Beasley Neighbourhood had been recently inventoried as part of the Downtown Built Heritage Inventory pilot project but that this only encompassed buildings south of Cannon Street. The area to the north includes the many historic commercial properties on James Street North. Concerned with impending changes to the Ontario Heritage Act (Bill 108), she felt a sense of urgency in recommending properties for listing on the Heritage Register in the area to the north of Cannon. In consultation with Alissa Golden, (Central), 72 commercial buildings on the east side (Beasley) and on the west side (Central) of James Street North have been evaluated, including a Built Heritage Inventory Form, a Preliminary Evaluation and an updated photo:
Carol was commended for her excellent work evaluating the James Street North properties in the defined area. The following recommendation was made (moved by Graham and seconded by Alissa D-R):
That the I & R WG endorse the first batch of recommendations from the Register Beasley Heritage Project, as presented; and,
That the I & R WG advise the HMHC to recommend to Council that the properties of cultural heritage value or interest on James Street North located in the James Street North cultural heritage landscape and the historic neighbourhoods of Beasley and Central, as identified in the attached list presented by the Register Beasley Heritage Project, be added to the Municipal Heritage Register.
Alissa advised that the Heritage Resource Mapping has now been updated for the 72 properties with photos and dates of construction and that letters will be sent to the owners of the affected properties. Carol and her volunteers will continue with the documentation and evaluation of residential properties in the Beasley Neighbourhood, following the current practice adopted for inventorying properties in the City of Hamilton under the direction of Alissa Golden.
The above recommendation and supporting documentation will be included as an addendum to the notes to be presented to the HMHC for approval at its next meeting, October 29, 2020.
5. Places of Education Update
Janice commented that she and other members involved with this inventory work have been hindered by the lack of access to the HWDSB Educational Archives, the Local History and Archives section of the Hamilton Public Library, and other local archival facilities. Progress has nevertheless been made in certain wards and will continue or be resumed as archival facilities are opened to the public.
6. Places of Worship Update
It was agreed that special meetings should be held to assess the Built Heritage Inventory and Preliminary Evaluation forms completed by members working on this project. The I & R WG has already partially completed a review of the properties assigned to Jim in Ward 4, to be completed at the first scheduled special meeting. Next to be reviewed are the pre-1967 Places of Worship in Dundas assigned to Ann.

8. Other Business
Cataract Power Company, Victoria Avenue North – heritage sign (Jim) Deferred to the next meeting attended by Jim.
62 Concession Road 6, East Flamborough – house and barn For background see item 7 of I & R WG meeting notes from 24 August 2020. Miranda will assist Lyn in completing a Preliminary Evaluation for a recommendation to add this property to the Heritage Register, to be presented at the next I & R WG meeting.
Juravinski Hospital, 711 Concession Street – Mount Hamilton Hospital Graham expressed concern about the future of the original Mount Hamilton Hospital, which now forms part of the Juravinski Hospital building complex. This was based on a recent newspaper article, which stated that the E, M, and F wings, as well as other older parts of the hospital will be replaced by a modern tower (The Hamilton Spectator, 6 September 2020). The Mount Hamilton Hospital, located at the corner of Upper Sherman and Concession Streets, opened in 1917 to help care for veterans of the First World War. Overlooking the mountain brow, it now stands to the rear of the Juravinski Hospital, which replaced the former Henderson General Hospital and opened in 2010. (https://www.hamiltonhealthsciences.ca/share/hamiltons-hospital-history) Although there is no imminent threat of demolition, it was agreed that research for listing the original building on the Heritage Register could be started. Graham volunteered to take on this project and contact the Hamilton Mountain Heritage Society for more information.
9. Adjournment and Next Meeting Date
The meeting was adjourned at 7:50. Next meeting: Monday 26 October 2020 (by Webex, at 6 p.m.)

3. Review and Approval of Meeting Notes, 28 September 2020
The meeting notes were accepted with the revisions proposed by Alissa D-R to the Recommendation of Beasley Batch 1 to include some background from the meeting notes, as this recommendation will be forwarded as a stand-alone agenda item to be approved by the HMHC at its next meeting on October 30.

The approved meeting notes will follow the regular schedule and go on the agenda of the following HMHC meeting on November 30 as a Consent Item.
4. Update on the Ancaster Inventory of pre-Confederation Buildings
Alissa G. spoke to the progress of the Ancaster Inventory of pre-Confederation buildings in the Village core, undertaken by 20 volunteers co-ordinated by the Ancaster Village Heritage Community president Bob Maton and Shannon Kyles (President, ACO Hamilton Region Branch). A document produced by the AVHC was received, which included photographs of some of the properties inventoried to date. The final recommendations for this project will be presented by the AVHC at a future meeting.
5. Places of Education Updates
There were no updates from members working on this inventory project.
6. Places of Worship Ward 4 Evaluations – Alissa Golden and Jim Charlton
As Jim was late joining the meeting, this item was moved to the end of the agenda. Due to technical difficulties with his web cam, Jim was only able to communicate by e-mail. Alissa therefore took over the presentation. The I & R Working Group reviewed five properties identified as significant built heritage resources or character-defining resources. The remaining buildings will be reviewed at the special meeting on November 9th.
7. Former Mount Hamilton Hospital (part of the Juravinski complex), 711 Concession Street
For background see Meeting Notes, 26 January 2020, item 8 – Juravinski Hospital. Graham had completed an Inventory Form and Preliminary Evaluation and explained his rationale for classifying the former Mount Hamilton Hospital as a significant built resource, worthy of adding to both the municipal Heritage Register the Heritage and the Designation Work Plan. He showed a number of historical and current photographs, which will be coalesced into a single background document with maps and other written or visual documentation. He will also work on a Statement of Cultural Heritage Value so that a recommendation can be approved by the I & R Working Group at its next meeting.
8. Next Meeting Date Monday November 9, 2020 (special meeting devoted to inventory projects). Inventory & Research Working Group Special Meeting for Places of Worship and Volunteer-Led Inventories
MEETING NOTES Monday, November 9, 2020 (1:30 pm – 4:00 pm) City of Hamilton Webex Virtual Meeting

1. Chair’s Remarks
Janice welcomed all present to this special meeting to deal with various inventory projects.
2. Declarations of Interest
There were none.
3. Register Beasley Heritage Project: Batch 2
Carol gave a brief PowerPoint presentation to introduce the listings, which were primarily residential properties located on John and Hughson Streets north of Cannon. She explained that this batch included only buildings classified as character-defining or character-supporting recommended for listing on the Register, but that further research on certain properties might lead to an upgrade of the status of some to significant built resource (e.g. former Fire Hall) that may be worthy of designation under the Ontario Heritage Act.
Staff advised that the Batch 2 recommendations will proceed to HMHC at a future date, and that an I & R WG recommendation to HMHC to approve the listings is not required at this time.
The Batch 2 recommendations were received by the I & R Working Group, which was supportive of the proposed listings: www.hamilton.ca/city-planning/heritage- properties/built-heritage-inventory-strategy#beasley.
4. Places of Worship Review: Remaining Ward 4 Listings (Alissa G. and Jim)
NOTE: The goal is to complete preliminary evaluations for places of worship across the City of Hamilton before compiling and summarizing the documentation and evaluations to bring back to the I & R Working Group for final recommendations. The review of Places of Worship in Ward 4 continued from where the I & R Working Group left off at its last meeting on October 26. Alissa carried the presentation, explaining the rational for the proposed classification of each Place of Worship. This batch included more character-supporting Places of Worship, several of which were elevated to the status of character-defining. All were recommended for listing on the Heritage Register. In addition, there were a number of inventoried properties for which no action was deemed to be required. The I & R Working Group supported the proposed classifications and recommendations for the last batch of properties in Ward 4 (see accompanying document).
5. Places of Worship Review: Dundas Listings (Ann and Alissa G.)
Prior to this meeting, reports containing an inventory form, written and visual documentation and a preliminary evaluation for 6 of the 8 Places of Worship in Dundas were distributed to members along with a summary sheet containing the proposed classifications and recommendations for each property. This batch does not include three churches, which are designated under the OHA as part of the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District: St. Augustine’s Catholic Church, Knox Presbyterian Church and St. Paul’s United Church. There was only sufficient time remaining for Ann to present two properties: St. James Anglican Church at 137 Melville Street and the former Church of God of Prophesy Church at 69 King Street East. She will continue with the remaining properties at the next special meeting to be scheduled in December.
