“This is where the Ministry can be so effective and important”

An email to the Minister of Heritage this morning from the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario president:

On behalf of the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario I want to thank the Minister for her prompt and, we hope effective action in saving 7 Austin Terrace. There are many such houses and buildings in Ontario that fall through the cracks and are lost, and most don’t have such active and effective citizens fighting to save them.

This is where the Ministry can be so effective and important. I look forward to working with you to protect Ontario’s heritage and to ensure that this kind of abuse doesn’t happen again.

Congratulations and thank you.

Regards,

Lloyd Alter B.Arch OAA
President, Architectural Conservancy of Ontario
