The changes regarding listing and designation will lead to a net loss for Ontario's built history and for our sense of regional and local identity.

Our current listing system can occasionally cause uncertainty for developers, and thus reticence to invest. I've seen frustrating scenarios play out twice, where well-meaning property owners were blindsided by unexpected designations.

To deal with this, I would prefer to see the OHA amended to encourage intensification and reuse of heritage properties, rather than (in practice) to encourage demolition and cultural erasure.
