Prior to 1975 Mr. Rodgers had assisted in preparing the. Ontario Heritage Act and seeing it through the House. Upon the enactment of .the legislation he went to work for the Ministry. While Mr. Rodgers is not a Director ;of the Ontario Heritage Foundation he works closely with this body which was formed in 1967 by the rs speu Province as its Centennial for funding has been active Project: civic concern, rather than Directors to the Qjtario. _ provincial architectural, or Heritage Foundation are historical importance. appointed by Her Honour, the Once the main activity of Lieutenant -Governor ` Mrs. the Foundation was to receive Pauline McGibbon, properties donated to the Initially the Ontario Government in exchange, for Heritage Foundation became ' tax relief.

It has been their experience that once this step has been taken, the municipality has gone one step further establishing Local Architectural Con- servation Advisory Com- mittees in the Province in- chiding- LACAC,'s in both Goderich and Seaforth. The heritage study prepared by Nick Hill of Goderich for the Exeter Town Hall Project was cited as a prototype of the kind of feasibility study now required by the Foundation before funding will be considered.

Another key factor in .con- sidering funding heritage projects is the use the property is going to be put to. Emphasis is being placed on innovative new use, not ,the proliferation of museums, Another major departure from the FoundatIon's original concept is the fun- ding of buildings owned by the municipality which are to be resold after restoration. An example of this is Sandyford Place in Hamilton. Upon the restoration of this 19C walkup the units will be sold by the city of Hamilton under a protective covenant and easements. This is proving to be a relatively inexpensive way of protecting heritage properties. Allowing municipalities to buy and sell heritage properties under this scheme will, no doubt, become in- creasingly popular in the years to come. Another recent venture of the Foundation was the funding of a private property, that being the Gooderham Blgd. in Toronto. This owner of thii�`llat iron I building in downtown Toronto received assistance far: restoration In .exchange for easements on. ' the' 'ar ,chitecturallysignificant portions of the building,., The importance of - in- dustrial architecture has also been overlooked until recently. As these buildings. are invariably 'not pretty' they are heavily threatened and often ignored. As well other buildings once ' con- sidered . common in the, Province, such as schools and pavilions, are also becoming rare and falling under the protective wing of the Foundation, Two currently active projects of these building types are the Newlands Pavilion in Kingston and the public school in Aurora. Members were pleased to learn that Peter Stokes, who was to have spoken at the February meeting which was cancelled because of the weather, will speak in May. Kenneth Kelly, Secretary to the Board of Governors of Heritage Canada, will speak at the next meeting on March 31 at the Little Inn in Bayfield.
