National Indigenous History Month
June is National Indigenous History Month, a time for all Canadians – Indigenous and
non-Indigenous – to reflect on and expand on our knowledge and understanding of the
history, languages, traditions, spirituality, cultures and contributions of First Nations, Inuit
and Métis people. This year, as Indigenous communities again mourn the loss of their
children at residential schools, as we are reminded once more of the systemic attempts to
rob children of their culture, their ties to their communities and to their families, it is a time
to show honour and respect to Canada’s Indigenous peoples.
This is an opportunity for each of us to educate ourselves on the history and heritage of
Canada’s Indigenous peoples, recognizing the diversity among the Nations. With the
spotlight on images of children’s shoes placed lovingly in front of our modern institutions,
let’s take the time to learn about the advanced civilizations, the structures of law and
democracy, the complex economic and social systems, the ways of knowing and ways of
life that existed for millennia before Europeans ever saw the shores of North America.
As we pause and reconsider whose contributions we commemorate in our communities
and classrooms, let’s look at who we’ve missed along the way. We will need to uncover
the gaps in the historical record, to listen to the Elders and Knowledge Keepers to
understand the contributions of Indigenous leaders and Indigenous communities across
what is now Ontario to the fields of science and medicine, land use and the environment,
art and architecture, music and literature, and law and civics.
Today, we strive to find ways to support Indigenous communities in continuing to preserve
the very things that the residential school system sought to diminish – such as language
and traditional ways of life. We question our understanding, as a country and people, of
history and identity. We seek to protect those places that are sacred to Indigenous
communities.
As we look towards Canada Day, we can also consider how best to realize the potential of
Canada – one that respects the diversity of cultures and traditions, that is honest in our
telling of history, and is a safe place in which each voice is heard.

68D’entrée de jeu | Beth Hanna, directrice générale de la Fiducie du
patrimoine ontarien
Mois national de l’histoire autochtone
En juin, nous célébrons le Mois national de l’histoire autochtone. Il s’agit d’une occasion
pour tous les Canadiens, autochtones et non-autochtones, de réfléchir et d’approfondir
leurs connaissances sur l’histoire, les langues, les traditions, la spiritualité, les cultures et
les contributions des Premières Nations, des Inuits et des Métis. Cette année, alors que
les communautés autochtones pleurent encore la perte de leurs enfants aux pensionnats
indiens, nous nous rappelons une fois de plus les tentatives systémiques de démunir les
enfants de leur culture, de leurs liens avec leur communauté et leur famille. Il s’agit d’une
occasion de faire honneur et de montrer notre respect aux peuples autochtones du
Canada.
C’est l’occasion pour chacun d’entre nous de nous éduquer sur l’histoire et le patrimoine
des peuples autochtones du Canada, et de reconnaître la diversité parmi les Nations.
Alors que les projecteurs sont placés sur des images de souliers d’enfants soigneusement
placés devant nos institutions modernes, prenons le temps de nous renseigner sur les
civilisations avancées, les structures du droit et de la démocratie, les systèmes
économiques et sociaux complexes, les modes de connaissances et de vie qui ont existé
pendant des milliers d’années avant que les Européens repèrent les rivages de
l’Amérique du Nord.
Alors que nous nous arrêtons pour réfléchir aux contributions que nous commémorons
dans nos communautés et nos salles de classe, regardons qui nous avons manqué en
chemin. Nous devrons repérer les lacunes dans les écrits historiques, écouter les aînés et
les gardiens du savoir pour comprendre les contributions des leaders autochtones et des
communautés autochtones partout en Ontario dans les domaines de la science et de la
médecine, de l’aménagement du territoire et de l’environnement, de l’art et de
l’architecture, de la musique et de la littérature, et du droit et de l’éducation civique.
Aujourd’hui, nous cherchons à trouver des moyens de soutenir les communautés
autochtones en continuant de préserver exactement ce que le système des pensionnats
indiens a tenté d’abolir, comme les langues et les modes de vie traditionnels. Nous
remettons en question nos connaissances, en tant que pays et peuple, sur notre histoire
et notre identité. Nous cherchons à protéger les endroits sacrés des communautés
autochtones.
À l’approche de la fête du Canada, nous pouvons aussi réfléchir à la meilleure façon de
réaliser le potentiel du Canada; un pays qui respecte la diversité des cultures et des
traditions, qui raconte sa vraie histoire et qui est un endroit sûr où chaque voix se fait
entendre.

Subject: 1403 Hwy.15 - OHA approval July 13, 2021
Dear Mayor and Councillors
On behalf of the Foundation's board, I am writing with respect to the Hwy. 15 heritage
application which Council approved on Tuesday night, excluding the 8th recommendation of
the Heritage Kingston Committee. We have several concerns relating to the process and the
mistaken assumptions brought forward to Council.
As you know, Heritage Kingston is a group of volunteers (along with two councillors) who put in
a tremendous amount of time and energy reviewing heritage applications each month. For a
committee where there are concerns about turnover in recent years, it sends a negative
message when council overrides a committee recommendation based on inadequate and
misleading information at the request of a constituent's councillor.
Council Doherty, to her credit, spoke about the issue, and acknowledged that there had been
considerable discussion at the HK Committee meeting, at which both the applicant and his wife
spoke to the matter. (As an aside, why on Planning matters are delegations not allowed at
Council, but on heritage matters, such delegations are permitted?)
The information provided by the applicant was that vinyl board and batten will cost about $2
per sq. ft. and for wooden board and batten, this would be much greater. There is a range of
prices for various 'heritage appropriate' cladding materials and these should be considered in
an objective manner when reaching a decision. In any case, a suggestion at the HK committee
was that if budget was a concern, instead of building a 28' by 28' garage, that perhaps the
applicant consider building a 24' by 24' two-car garage. A very large garage is not the typical
outbuilding on a heritage designated property.
An important point here is that when a designation by-law is passed under the OHA, it applies
to the entire property, not just to a specific building. For new additions, it is extremely
important that in scale, location and materials, new additions should not detract from the
heritage character of the property.
The issue of vinyl siding was pivotal in considering this application. Somehow Commissioner
Hugenbos spoke to the matter via Commissioner Agnew, when it appeared that the phone
connection to Director Campbell was unsatisfactory. Ms. Campbell had been in attendance at
76the HK meeting and should have been allowed to speak. Commissioner Hugenbos said,
presumably by phone to his colleague, that there are no rules about vinyl siding. I would like to
remind the Council that there are three heritage districts in the City, and in each case, vinyl
siding is not recommended: see Barriefield HCD Plan S. 4.4.h and 4.5.2j; see Sydenham HCD
Plan, S. 5.3.3, and for Market Square, see S. 5.2 and 5.3.
Furthermore, the City's 2015 Urban Design Guidelines for Residential Lots, now referenced in S.
8.3 of the updated Official Plan, specifically recommend the following for Finish Materials (S.
6.9) to "Use quality materials and detailed design on all sides of the building." and "Consider
simulated materials only if they are durable and authentic." These Urban Design Guidelines
apply to the entire city, not only to heritage properties, and encourage high quality finishing
materials.
When the vote was taken on Recommendation No. 8, four councillors supported the
recommendation put forward by the HK Committee, and we thank Councillors Doherty,
Holland, McLaren and Neill for their support. To the five others on Council who voted against
this recommendation, we understand the desire to support a constituent, but a decision like
this makes it much more difficult to ensure quality construction for other developments across
the city, heritage or not.
I am also copying Elizabeth Fawcett with a request to provide a copy of this message to the HK
members.
Thank you for your time, Shirley
