4 Port Perry Downtown Waterfront Revitalization Project - Phase Two Advisory Committee Minutes Meeting #3 March 27, 2018 The 2008 master plan concept did not include the property north of the boat launch or south beyond the municipal parking lot at Water and Mary Streets. Although the 2008 master plan concept was somewhat followed, it wasn t completely shelved. It was suggested that future plans for the waterfront could include a connection between the Trans Canada Trail and the Waterfront Trail. Mr. O Brien was thanked for attending the meeting and for providing insight into Phase One of the Waterfront Project. 6. Reports i. Ray Smith Letters Follow-up At the Monday, March 26 th Council meeting, Council received the February meeting minutes of the Port Perry Downtown Waterfront Revitalization Project Phase Two Advisory Committee. The recommendation contained within those minutes regarding the letters written by Mr. and Mrs. Smith was not endorsed by Council. It was felt that the letters, although very well written, should not be sent at this time. There should be a plan or vision of what is planned for the area before reaching out to the other levels of government for support. The letters can be kept and used when there is a vision for the project and the Township is ready to proceed. The members of the Waterfront Advisory Committee noted that the Old Mill should be recognized as a National Historic Site. It was suggested that if the letters were rewritten, seeking to have the Old Mill recognized as a National Historic Site and removing any reference of requesting funds, Council may support them. The Smiths will be asked to re-write the letters, to request that the Old Mill be recognized as a National Historic Site. Committee Recommendation: Moved by: Guy Latreille THAT the Chair request that Mr. and Mrs. Smith re-write the letters to request that the Old Mill be recognized as a National Historic Site. Carried ii. Planning Session Next Steps Latcham Centre, Old Mill and Marina The Committee decided that it would like to establish a working group to continue work on the planning matrix. The Committee was reminded that there is no Staff support for working groups. It was suggested that the minutes of the working group be included in the next Waterfront Advisory Committee Agenda, and that the Advisory Committee can discuss the items noted in the minutes of the working group. There was a concern raised about a quorum of this Committee being part of the working group. The Chair requested clarification from the Director of Corporate Service / Municipal Clerk, on whether there are any concerns with a quorum of this Committee being part of a working group. Committee Recommendation: Moved by: Shonnette Brown THAT a working group be established to continue work on the planning matrix; 2

7 Heritage and Museum Advisory Committee and Port Perry Downtown Waterfront Revitalization Project - Phase Two Advisory Committee Township of Scugog 181 Perry Street P.O. Box 780 Port Perry, ON L9L 1A7 April 2, 2018 The Honourable Mélanie Joly Minister of Canadian Heritage House of Commons Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6 Dear Minister Joly: Our attractive Victorian-era town of Port Perry, Ontario is home to the George Currie Grain Elevator, which our Township recently designated as a Property of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Dating from 1874, this iconic structure known locally as the Old Mill is the oldest remaining wooden grain elevator in Canada. It played a key role in the agricultural and economic development of our Township and the surrounding area, and functioned as a grain elevator for over 100 years, until Our Township purchased the Old Mill in 2009, and we are working to develop plans to restore and repurpose this significant landmark. A recent engineering study has provided a basis for restoration work, and we continue to solicit ideas to save and use the building. It is a historical and cultural treasure, with potential for education, celebration and for continuing to contribute to our local economy as a repurposed building, anchoring our downtown heritage district. With the 150th anniversary of our grain elevator approaching, we are asking your Ministry to support recognition of the Old Mill as a national asset a monument to Canada s agricultural and industrial development. Specifically, we are asking that you support adding the Currie Grain Elevator to the Canadian Register of Historic Places.

8 As we move forward with our efforts, we expect to find opportunities to partner with the Young Canada Works program as we invest in our social infrastructure and highlight our economic and cultural history. We hope that your Ministry s endorsement of our Heritage and Waterfront Revitalization initiatives will bring wider recognition to our projects and help us preserve and restore this important symbol of our nation s growth, both as a revitalized building for the 21st century, and a commemoration of the 19th. Sincerely yours, Marina Brock, Chair Heritage and Museum Advisory Committee Rod Coward, Chair Port Perry Downtown Waterfront Revitalization Project - Phase Two Advisory Committee Tom Rowett, Mayor Township of Scugog Madame la Ministre: Notre charmante ville victorienne de Port Perry, en Ontario, abrite l'élévateur à grains George Currie, que notre canton a récemment désigné comme propriété de la valeur ou

9 de l'intérêt du patrimoine culturel en vertu de la partie IV de la Loi sur le Patrimoine de l'ontario. Datant de 1874, cette structure emblématique connue localement sous le nom de «Old Mill» est le plus ancien silo à grains en bois au Canada. Il a joué un rôle clé dans le développement agricole et économique de notre canton et des environs et a servi d'élévateur à grains pendant plus de 100 ans, jusqu'en Notre canton a acheté l'ancien silo à grains en 2009 et nous travaillons à l'élaboration de plans pour restaurer et réaménager cet important monument. Une étude d'ingénierie récente a fourni une base pour le travail de restauration, et nous continuons à solliciter des idées pour préserver et utiliser le bâtiment. C'est un trésor historique et culturel, avec un potentiel pour l'éducation, la célébration et pour continuer à contribuer à notre économie locale en tant que bâtiment réaménagé, ancrant notre district du patrimoine du centre-ville. Cependant, il y a des coûts considérables associés à la remise à neuf d'une structure aussi ancienne, et notre petite ville n'a pas la capacité d'entreprendre les travaux nécessaires à elle seule. À l'approche du 150e anniversaire de notre élévateur à grains, nous demandons à votre ministère de soutenir la reconnaissance du Old Mill en tant qu'atout national - un monument du développement agricole et industriel du Canada. Plus précisément, nous vous demandons de soutenir l'ajout de l'élévateur à grains Currie au Répertoire canadien des lieux patrimoniaux. À mesure que nous poursuivrons nos efforts, nous prévoyons trouver des occasions de collaborer avec le programme Jeunesse Canada au travail en investissant dans notre infrastructure sociale et en mettant en valeur notre histoire économique et culturelle. Nous espérons que l'appui de votre ministère à nos initiatives de revitalisation du patrimoine et du secteur riverain permettra de mieux reconnaître nos projets et de nous aider à préserver et à restaurer cet important symbole de la croissance de notre nation, à la fois comme un bâtiment revitalisé pour le 21ème siècle, et un commémoration du 19ème. Cordialement, Rod Coward, Président Comité consultatif de la projet de centre- Marina Brock, Présidente Comité consultatif du patrimoine et du musée phase deux du revitalisation du secteur riverain du ville de Port Perry Tom Rowett, Maire

Box 780 Port Perry, ON L9L 1A7 April 2, 2018 The Honourable Jeff Leal Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs 77 Grenville Street, 11th Floor Toronto M7A 1B3 Dear Minister Leal: Almost 200 years ago, the first immigrant farmer settled in what is now the Township of Scugog. Reuben Crandell was at the vanguard of logging, farming, fishing, hunting and industrial development in central Ontario. Now, the town of Port Perry is proud to be home to the George Currie Grain Elevator, which we recently designated as a Property of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act. Dating from 1874, this local landmark is the oldest remaining wooden grain elevator in Canada. It played a key role in the agricultural and economic development of our Township and the surrounding area, and functioned as a grain elevator for over 100 years, until Our Township hopes to restore this iconic structure, which survived two devastating fires which razed our downtown in 1883 and For generations, it allowed farmers to sell, store and transport their grain, even to the United States. It is a historical and cultural treasure, and anchors our downtown heritage district, which includes many restored buildings from the Victorian era. The Old Mill, as it is known, potentially offers opportunities for education and historical celebration, including museum and archival uses. A recent engineering study has provided a basis for restoration work, and we continue to solicit ideas to save and use the building. As a renewed and repurposed building, this stately grain elevator can continue to contribute to our local economy. With the 150th anniversary of our grain elevator approaching, we are asking your Ministry to support recognition of the Old Mill as a national asset and a monument to

12 Ontario s agricultural and industrial development. Specifically, we are asking for your endorsement of our request to have the Currie Grain Elevator added to the Canadian Register of Historic Places, which we are pursuing through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. We are exploring several means to raise awareness of our local history, and its broader impact on Ontario s farming, logging, rail and industrial heritage. We hope that your Ministry s endorsement of our Heritage and Waterfront Revitalization efforts will bring wider recognition to our historical and cultural assets, and help us to preserve and restore our Old Mill. It is an important symbol of our nation s growth, both as a revitalized building for the 21st century, and a commemoration of the 19th.
