What is the Municipal Heritage Committee?
The Ontario Heritage Act allows municipalities to establish a Municipal Heritage Committee (MHC). An MHC provides advice to City Council on matters and properties with architectural and/or historical significance. The Committee also evaluates properties that have heritage significance in order to develop and maintain a list of heritage properties in the community.
A Municipal Heritage Committee is established by a municipal government by passing a by-law, in accordance with guidelines in the Ontario Heritage Act.
The City of North Bay's Municipal Heritage Committee
The City of North Bay passed By-Law No. 38-96 on April 15th, 1996 which created the North Bay Municipal Heritage Committee (initially called the North Bay Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee). This By-law also provides Terms of Reference under which the Committee operates.
The MHC is comprised of 9 voting members and 3 ex-officio members. The Committee meets monthly at City Hall.
The overarching goal of the North Bay Municipal Heritage Committee is to achieve conservation through community recognition and awareness. Since its inception, the MHC has recognized over two dozen properties for their heritage characteristics.
