Heritage Inventory Update - April 2018

The latest update from the City: 

Through the Heritage Inventory Project, a Term of Council Strategic Initiative, 582 buildings across four urban neighbourhoods were added to the City of Ottawa Heritage Register in 2017. In 2018, a staff report will propose approximately 1700 additions to the City of Ottawa Heritage Register across the remaining inner urban area.

The 2018 report recommends 316 properties in Ward 15 - Kitchissippi for addition to the Heritage Register through the Heritage Inventory Project. City staff will contact each affected property owner through a mail out that includes a notification letter, a project brochure and a property information sheet (please refer to reference material attached). Staff will also be hosting two information sessions for property owners at City Hall on April 23 and on April 28, 2018.  
 

Please note these important upcoming dates:
Week of Apr 3           Notice mailed to property owners
March 27, 2018        Summary and timeline e-mailed to Community Association(s)

City of Ottawa’s Heritage Inventory Project is tackling the Civic- Spring 2018

The Heritage Inventory Project is a city-wide strategic initiative which is evaluating buildings built before 1980 for heritage significance.   The project team has provided the following to explain what this project is all about and to extend an invitation to you to tell them about YOUR house's history.  At the bottom of this page you will find some commonly asked Questions and Answers.

Taking Stock of Our Built Heritage
By Avery Marshall, Adrian Phillips and Amber Polywkan, Built Heritage Researchers, City of Ottawa


The City of Ottawa is undertaking a major project identifying buildings, structures and other built resources of cultural heritage value. The ‘Heritage Inventory Project’ is a city-wide project involving the surveying and evaluation of a vast array of Ottawa’s built resources, from the modest worker’s houses of Lowertown, to the fine Arts and Crafts homes in Brantwood Place, to the century old barns of Kinburn, and even the numerous bridges that span our city’s many waterways.

The goal of the Heritage Inventory Project is to create certainty around Ottawa’s heritage resources with a complete, well-researched, up-to-date list of all heritage resources in the city that are not already protected by the Ontario Heritage Act.

Properties identified through the project will not be designated under the Ontario Heritage Act, rather they will be added to the City’s Heritage Register.  A rigorous update to the City’s Heritage Register will be beneficial for property owners, developers, heritage advocates, elected officials, planning staff, community groups and all concerned residents. Being listed on the Heritage Register will not affect the property owner’s ability to make changes to the exterior or interior of their building, and it does not require the property owner to restore the building. Property owners will need to provide the City of Ottawa with 60 days notice of intent to demolish.

The research method for the project includes photographing, describing architectural characteristics and evaluating thousands of built resources throughout the city. The results of the Heritage Inventory Project will be accessible on GeoOttawa and also the city’s website.

We’re asking community members to share information about their properties or other buildings or structures in their neighbourhood. We would love to know who designed your home or the original use of a particular building.

Please connect with the City of Ottawa’s built heritage researchers: Avery Marshall, Adrian Phillips and Amber Polywkan at heritageinventory@ottawa.ca or say hello if you see us in the neighbourhood.  More information about the Heritage Inventory Project is available at ottawa.ca/heritageinventory.
