Overview

Insuring Your Heritage Home, a two-page information sheet from the City of Toronto's Heritage Planning, last updated January 2022. Drawing on the Insurance Bureau of Canada and the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, it answers questions on whether the Ontario Heritage Act has insurance requirements and whether insuring heritage properties is harder, then lists the Bureau's five tips, preventive measures and its Heritage Property Risk Prospectus. The City links it across its heritage permit, grant and district pages.
