the City of Ottawa is undertaking the development of an update to the ByWard Market Heritage Conservation District (HCD) and the Lowertown West Heritage Conservation District (HCD) and their associated management guidelines. The updates will result in new Heritage Conservation District Plans as required under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The HCD Plans outline objectives, policies, and guidelines for how these HCDs should be conserved and protected, as well as how they should grow and evolve. This project also provides an opportunity to review the reasons that each HCD is significant, what elements or attributes, spaces, places or features express the important values of each HCD, and clarify how the areas should continue to grow and evolve into the future.
By completing these surveys, you will help Heritage Planning staff ensure they’ve captured those cultural heritage values, attributes and objectives for the Plan. The information collected will form part of the study record and will be used to inform the draft plan and make recommendations to City Council.
