Committees' (LACAC) seminar held at Van Egmond House on Sat• urday. -,Winti'McLean, 'chairman of Seaforth LACAC, wel- comed representatives. and Reeve, Robert Bell brought greetipgs from Tuckersmith Township. An interesting personal note was the fact that his great-grandfather had actually staved 'in the house when be first arrived in' the area. Linda Jones (Vice, Presi, dent of the Van Eemond Foundation) stressed the common goal• of those con- cerned with the preservation of heritage buildings. She hoped. she said. that various groups would avail them- selves of the opportunity to use the Van Egmorid House as a' meeting place-the more it was used the better! Architect Nicholas Hill, known for his heritage and restoration work in the county dealt with the subject of conservation generally, illustrating his remarks with a comprehensive slide pre- sentation of preservation in Canada and Europe. This exemplified the diversity, Of historical conservation, with particular relationship to country, climate and tradi- tion. As Mr. Hill, explained. it was not only buildings but environmental factors.- land- scape and, materials which needed to 'be considered before any project was undertaken. He emphasized the main' role of-the -LACAC group as being striedy'of an advisory, nature, the objectives 'being to assist local bodies, mer- chants and cotncils-a role. which unfortunately. was sometimes misinterpreted. Two other' important points he stressed were the eco- nomies of any conservation plan. and the natural , pro- gression of buildings in to- day's society. both of which required comprehensive assessment. In conclusion, Mr. Hill introduced his audience to' the first copies of his book Streetseapes''.., Written and illustrated by the author, the book provides a delightful account, of the rich and diverse architectural and plannin • herita • e in the streetscapes of Huron towns and villages.. Glen Carey, speaking of the achievements of Goder- ich LACAC group over the past six years,'explained the Heritage Act of .1975 had drawn` the attention of the Provinces• to the needs for conservation. In Goderich they were fortunate in that LACAC had been accepted in the community, its mandate- to advise bring fully appre- ciated. Consequently a num- ber of residential buildings had been designated with the owners' full approval. His presentation included a photographic display of some of, these, structurally and historically interesting houses. Another venture had been• a, student project initi- ated in 1977. Experience had shown that close co-opera- tion with council, property owners and merchants was an integral part of successful locul conservation.
