As the city filed it

This report recommends the approval of 11 grants totalling $258,200.00 under the Toronto Heritage Grant Program. The recommended recipients will generate approximately $802,600.00 in private investment for work to conserve irreplaceable cultural heritage resources that contribute to the City's social and economic prosperity by defining our unique sense of place. The Toronto Heritage Grant Program provides matching grant funds for eligible heritage conservation work of residential properties or tax exempt properties in the City of Toronto designated under Part IV or V of the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA).

Applicants may receive a grant once every five years for up to 50% of the cost of eligible conservation work. Owners of house form buildings may receive up to $10,000.00 or if replacing an entire cedar or slate roof assembly, up to $20,000.00 every ten years. Owners of non-house form buildings and any tax exempt properties including house-form buildings may be eligible for a grant equivalent to 50% of the cost of eligible conservation work, with no maximum limit. The properties that have been recommended for a grant award vary in size and location across Toronto. The majority of the grant recipients are residential properties located in Heritage Conservation Districts, including several properties within the Cabbagetown North Heritage Conservation District. In addition, there are a few notable landmark properties benefitting from heritage grants this year, including the Massey Harris Lofts, Victoria Lofts, former Eglinton Hunt Club, and the Stonehouse/Lawrence farmhouse in Scarborough.
