As a significant resource to the community, we advise Cabbagetown Heritage Conservation District property owners and developers on the policies and guidelines of the HCD Plan for exterior alterations and restoration.

We are the conduit for community-based feedback to the City as they recognize the interest and knowledge of our committee as a source of valuable input during the heritage permit application process.
