pageintheGlobeandMaiUgainlastueck on the same topic as before the town hall This letter written by Ron Brown of Toronto was under the title heritage act protects nothing reader claims George Elliott plea to save Actons Town Hall tetter Aug Is eloquent but it the tip of the Iceberg The threat to Actons Town Hall faces Ontarios entire heritage Its root Is not any individual town council or any individual developer rather it Is a piece of legislation which Heritage Canada once des cribed as bring one of the weakest of its kind in the entire Western world the Ontario Heri tage Act Despite its grand title it protects nothing In the designation or even Ontarios most historic buildings in the hands of local councils it places so many legal hurdles In their way that few can be bothered It a miracle that Actons Town Hall was the first place But as Mr Elliotts letter demonstrates the act does not prevent even of a designated building IT a historical has the mis fortune to lie within a town that lacks an rial plan or a forma citizens group called a LACAC Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee council cannot natr it Where a building is in a town with an antiheritage council such as Acton or Chatham or is in an area with no municipal structure nothing can save it While casting Ontarios heritage to the tender mercies of local town councils the Ministry of Citizenship and Culture which is now responsible for the act reserves for itself only the right to protect ruins Therefore should the Acton Town Hall be gutted by fire only then could the province set in to save it Despite the heroic efforts of such tions as the Ontario Heritage Foundation such towns as Perth and such groups as that headed by Mr Elliott Ontario built heritage is fast vanishing To save It Minister of Citizenship and Culture Bruce McCaffrey must put teeth into legislation which mocks the heritage protection process and commit his ministry to preserving Ontario heritage To date however he has demonstrated no such commitment After George and Brown s letters appeared refering to our hall we got a call at the Free Press from Clyde Bell of the Tweed News That community is trying to restore Its Odd fellows Hall which used to be know as the Playhouse He was disappointed to hear Acton building is closed and the stage gone He planned to drop by Acton soon to have a look at the hall
