An in-person public open house for the Cultural Heritage Master Plan (CHMP) will take place on Monday, October 6.
The meeting will be held from 5 – 7 pm at the Rotary Hall inside the Prince Edward Community Centre (375 Picton Main Street).
At the meeting, staff and the project consultant, WSP, will present the latest draft of the CHMP. Attendees can learn more about the plan and ask questions to the project team.
The County of Prince Edward is developing the plan to manage and protect its built heritage resources and cultural heritage landscapes.
A built heritage resource is a building, structure, monument, installation, or any manufactured remnant that contributes to a property’s cultural heritage value or interest.
A cultural heritage landscape is a defined geographical area that may have been modified by human activity and include features such as structures, spaces, archaeological sites, or natural elements that are valued together for their interrelationship, meaning, or association.
Protecting and enhancing Prince Edward County’s cultural, heritage and natural assets for the future is a key objective within the municipality’s Strategic Plan 2023-2026. In addition, the municipality’s Official Plan states that the municipality will identify cultural heritage resources while ensuring their conservation, restoration, maintenance, and enhancement as part of the community’s ongoing evolution.
Council directed staff, when it adopted the Official Plan in 2021, to prepare a Cultural Heritage Master Plan to help guide staff and the development community in this area.
