Individual Designation – Individual properties designated under the Ontario Heritage Act are protected for specific unique attributes falling under the categories of architectural, cultural and/or contextual value. Also known as “Part Four Designated”, these properties have individual site-specific by-laws that outline the detailed cultural heritage value or interest of the property as well as the applicable heritage attributes.

Heritage Conservation District Designation – Heritage Conservation Districts are neighbourhoods that are protected by a municipal by-law passed by Council under Part Five of the Ontario Heritage Act. They are put in place to conserve and enhance the special character of historic areas and neighbourhoods.

Listed Properties – These are protected sites defined by Section 27, Part Four of the Ontario Heritage Act as having potential cultural heritage value or interest but are not yet designated. The protection extends to the entire site boundary, but only covers protection against alteration or demolition of the built structures.

Properties of Interest – This is an additional list created by City staff to identify properties of potential cultural heritage value to be evaluated for eventual inclusion on the register – but are presently not protected.
