Town Committment to Heritage

The Town of South Bruce Peninsula is an active and flourishing community where history and culture are vital components of the Town's commitment to quality living.  To this end, historical elements have enhanced the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of the Town.  The Town of South Bruce Peninsula, like other communities across Ontario, has experienced considerable change in the past number of years.  This has resulted in a fundamental need to preserve the history of the area.  The Town of South Bruce Peninsula is interested in preserving and maintaining its significant historical assets for future generations.  Council believes that this can best be achieved by full public dialogue and initiatives.

Municipal Heritage Committee

The Municipal Heritage Committee was appointed by Council in March 2007.  The Committee acts in an advisory capacity to Council in order to identify, protect and promote the mechanisms that preserve the town's historic assets for the benefit of all.
