This list protects architecturally and historically significant resources from demolition.
Each resource below will either have a grade, a list of protected character-defining elements, or both. A heritage permit is required before you can alter the character-defining elements or the elements that are protected by a resource’s grade.
Under the previous by-law, heritage buildings were given grades. Each grade represents the level of protection.
Grade I:
- the entire building, interior and exterior, is protected from demolition and any alteration to the building requires a heritage permit.
Grade II & III:
- The exterior of the building, its structure, and any listed character defining elements are protected from demolition.
- Alterations to these areas require a heritage permit.
