As the city filed it

This report recommends the approval of twenty-two grants totalling $317,000.00 under the Toronto Heritage Grant Program. The recommended recipients will generate approximately $660,225.61 in private investment for work to conserve irreplaceable cultural heritage resources that contribute to the City's social and economic prosperity by maintaining Toronto's unique sense of place. The Toronto Heritage Grant Program provides matching grant funds for eligible restoration-based conservation work for heritage properties within the City of Toronto that are 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 or not-for-profit properties (including house form buildings) may be eligible for a grant equivalent to 50% of the cost of eligible work, with no maximum limit. The Toronto Heritage Grant Program has a budget of $317,000.00 in the City Planning 2025 Operating Budget and is administered by Heritage Planning, City Planning. The properties that have been recommended for a grant award vary in size and location across Toronto. Several grant projects are at residential properties located in Heritage Conservation Districts (HCDs), including properties located within the Cabbagetown North, Cabbagetown Southwest, and Riverdale Heritage Conservation Districts. In addition, there are a few notable Part IV-designated properties benefitting from heritage grants this year, including two community submissions of eight contiguous properties along Alpha Avenue and three properties on Amelia Street.
