Browse the Wrenford Heritage Register
The Find heritage sites gallery helps you locate heritage properties across the city. You can search by address, ward, or property name. The gallery shows designated heritage properties, inventory listings, and heritage conservation districts. It also links to detailed pages for each site, including historical photos, conservation guidelines, and property records.
How to use the gallery
Use the search box at the top of the map to enter a street name or property number. You can also filter results by ward or property type. Click on a marker to see a quick summary and a link to the full property record. If you need a printed map, select the download option in the top right corner.
What is included in the gallery?
- Designated properties: Sites officially protected under the City of Wrenford Official Plan. These buildings and landscapes have proven heritage value and require a heritage alteration permit for any changes.
- Inventory properties: Sites recorded on the heritage register that may not be officially designated but still hold historical or architectural significance. Owners are encouraged to consult conservation guidelines before making changes.
- Heritage conservation districts: Areas where the collective character of the built environment is protected. The Mill Street Conservation Guidelines apply to all properties within these boundaries.
Next steps for property owners
If you own a property listed in the gallery, you may need to complete specific steps before making changes:
- Apply for a heritage alteration permit if you plan to modify the exterior of a designated property.
- Apply for a heritage review if you want to confirm the heritage status of a building or add it to the register.
- Apply for heritage rehabilitation incentives to access financial support for conservation work.
- Check the heritage grants page for funding that covers routine upkeep and minor repairs.
