Clinton News-Record, 1987-06-10, Page 25Page 4A—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 10, 1987 Ontario Heritage Policy reviewed By Helen Owen GODERICH - There was a good atten- dance at The Livery on May 27. This public meeting, one of 26 consultations being held across the province by the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture was, the first stage of the Ontario Policy Review. The second stage in the process involves research and analysis of information culled from these meetings in order for recommen- dations to be made for specific changes to the Ontario Heritage Act. Reviewing the background which has lead to the Review it is interesting to note that the government of Ontario is firmly com- mitted to promoting and preserving the heritage of the Province. In pursuing this objective it already works with individuals, municipalities and local community organizations. The public's support for heritage conser- vation has increased dramatically over the past three decades, and surveys indicated that it enjoys a higher level of community support than any other in the cultural sec- tion. Because of its pioneering programer Ontario is been as a leader in this respect. The meeting in Goderich was chaired by Maurice Careless, a professor of history at the University of Toronto. It was gratifying to note that the village of Bayfield was very well represented by members of the Historical Society and LACAC. Following the introductory remarks there was no shortage of comment from the au- dience and this covered a wide range of subjects. Perhaps the two most prediminant factors that were reiterated referred to the weakness of the present act which under- inined the implementation of its intents, and the desperate need for the means to educate all age groups requiring both financial and expert support. Another area of concern was the lack of communicatioQ between government departments, and examples were quoted where the action of one was in direct conflict with the policy of another. Such situations could be seen as negative in that they ignored heritage aspects. The introductory film provoked criticism in that it was felt stressed 'Ontario' whereas perhaps more emphasis should be placed on 'Canadian' aspects, which posed the ques- tion "Why not Federal policies?" Again the film highlighted festival events, whereas it appeared to be the feeling of the meeting that heritage rested in the Local reflections which mirrored the life style, personalities, buildings and roots of individual com- munities. Mention was also made of tangi- ble assets to be conserved, but it was also an opinion that there was a need for the 'in- tangible' to be recorded as memories and recollected experience were also part of the legacy. Another area of concern expressed the need to preserve trees, which in some in- stances had suffered ruthless extermination. With regard to the present Act, many of the speakers had experienced problems, for example, unrealistic criteria limiting fun- ding, inadequate procedures relative to de - designation, lack of definition and guidance from the Ministry relative to interpretation, poor communication and lack of continuity which frustrated LACACs in their endeavours to fulfil their mole. Other matters of concern covered Museums, their special place in the scheme of things, their ongoing development as keepers of the past for the future and storage facilities for the artefacts for which no provision was made. Maintenance of ar- chival material, its storage and availability as a valuable resource was another subject noted. The input from the meeting will now become a part of the second stage of the Review, leading to recommendations for specific changes to the Act. The demolition derby didn't last too long for this driver as his car was driven up and over the barrier within the first few minutes of the event. Once again this year the derby was a smash hit with the grandstand being filled to capacity and deep at every available railing spot.
