Our Municipal Heritage Committee helps preserve and recognize built and natural heritage that defines Central Elgin and its past. The committee is made up of representatives from each ward, interested members of the municipality, and a council representative.
They meet on the fourth Wednesday of every other month, usually at Sparta Church Museum, 6073 Quaker Road at 2:00 pm.

Clerk's List of Properties of Cultural and Heritage Value |
The committee have also begun a Clerk's List of Properties of Cultural and Heritage Value. These buildings have no restrictions on them, although a demolition permit will not be issued until the Committee has a chance to review the property and discuss the plans with owners.
Property owners wishing to have their buildings recognized as of cultural or heritage significance should contact the CAO/Clerk. |
