• The Midland Heritage Committee, formerly known as the Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committee (LACAC), is a Committee which is comprised of any combination of Council members and ratepayers, with staff as resource personnel, and may include appointments from other governing authorities. The Committee derives its authority from the Ontario Heritage Act.
  
  
• The Committee meets the second Tuesday of each month.
   
• The Midland Heritage Committee is appointed by Council to promote the Municipality's mandate of heritage preservation. The Committee focuses on the identification and preservation of heritage resources, including historical and architectural buildings, and cultural and natural features within our Municipality. The Committee promotes public awareness of heritage resources through participation in local heritage events, publications of books and brochures and annual award presentations of Midland Heritage Plaques on buildings having architectural and/or historical significance. The Committee was established in 1989.
  
  
• The Town of Midland Heritage Inventory and Register has been prepared by the Planning Department under the direction and with the assistance of the Heritage Committee.  The Heritage Inventory and Register, at this time, includes those buildings and structures on the Walking Tour list, Captain's Houses list, and a number of other buildings and structures identified by current and past staff and Committees.
  
  Under Section 27(1) of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA), the Clerk of the Town is required to keep a register of properties of cultural heritage value or interest within the Town.  The register must include all properties that are designated under the OHA either locally or provincially and the register must include a legal description of the lands, name and address of current owner, a statement of the cultural heritage value or interest of the property, and a description of the heritage attributes of the property.  The OHA also permits property/buildings that are not formally designated to be 'listed' on the Heritage Register where the municipality believes that there is a cultural heritage value or interest in the property/building.
  
  The Heritage Inventory and Register is an important and significant part of the Town's overall heritage resources program.  The Inventory and Register meets the Town's obligations and requirements of the Ontario Heritage Act and also establishes an important tool in the
  identification, promotion and protection of these significant heritage properties and buildings.
  
  The Heritage Inventory and Register should be considered a living document that will continue to be added to and improved upon over time as additional historical information is found and incorporated regarding the existing designated and listed properties and as new buildings and resources are considered by the Committee for listing and designation.
