Overview

The Cultural Heritage Impact Assessment terms of reference developed jointly by York Region and its municipalities, with Whitchurch-Stouffville's local additions, linked from the Town's Heritage Studies, Reports, and Terms of Reference page. It ties the study to Phase 1 (Mandatory Consultation) of the Collaborative Application Preparation process and cites the Provincial Planning Statement, 2024. Its contents run from proposal context and research through a statement of cultural heritage value under Ontario Regulation 9/06 and Regulation 385/21 to impacts, mitigation and recommendations. The Town's 2020 CHIA guidelines are a separate record.
