BACKGROUND:
History of the Designated Heritage Grant Program
first established on July 2, 2002, when
Council passed By-law 2002-134. The program was updated three years later on July 4,
2005, when Council repealed the original by-law and passed By-law 2005-139 which altered
the administrative procedures and operating guidelines of the program. The changes
included minor housekeeping items as well as established the minimum grant value,
notification requirements, and types of eligible work.
The intent of the Designated Heritage Grant program is to provide funding for owners of
properties designated under Part IV or Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, to be used
towards the conservation or restoration of their cultural heritage resource. The protection
and care of the of cultural heritage resources within the City of Kitchener is an important
part of planning for the future. Kitchener has its own unique culture and heritage. Our
places, spaces, and stories are integral to our identity. There are economic,
environmental, and informational values as well to cultural heritage. Heritage conservation
is capable of enhancing property value and assessments, attracting investments, and
creating opportunities for tourism and other specialized industries. The most sustainable
and environmentally friendly buildings are ones that already exist; heritage buildings
contain embodied carbon, and their use or reuse reduces the release of emissions and
material consumption while keeping waste material out of the landfill.
It should be recognized that our heritage resources are a finite and non-renewable resource.
The City plays a critical role and has a responsibility towards the conservation of cultural
heritage properties. The Official Plan contains objectives and policies which require the
attributes, and integrity are retained. The administration of the Designated Heritage Grant
Program is one such way in which the City can fulfil or support the fulfillment of this
responsibility.
Program Statistics and Performance
The existing administrative and operating guidelines set out criteria for eligible conservation
work and establishes the process for applicants to follow in making a submission. At present,
the DHG Program may award applicants up to 50% of total eligible project costs, from a
minimum of $500 to a maximum of $3000 per property per calendar year.
Table 1 provides an overview of the statistics of the Designated Heritage Grant Program in
the past 10 years, while Table 2 provides an overview of its performance.

2023 17 14 $ 199,609.80 $ 14,257.84
In summary, since 2014 an average of 17 grant applications are made every year and an
average of 12 grants are issued. Grant applications that are submitted may not have been
awarded due to several reasons, including being ineligible as per the criteria set out by the
administrative operations and guidelines, being withdrawn by the applicant, or funding being
unavailable. Overall projects have seen a general increase in cost in the past ten years, with
the exception of 2020 which may be attributed to the start COVID-19 pandemic. The median
project costs in the past ten years have ranged from a minimum of $4,923.98 to a maximum
of $14,228.16. In the most recent grant year (2023) the median project cost was $10,790.45.

2023 $33,120.00 $38,381.62
Every year since 2016, $30,000 is added to the Heritage Grant Fund (capital account)
annually, and the total grant amount issued generally exceeds the amount which is added.
This is feasible only due to previous years in which the full grant funding available was not
used.
Municipal Heritage Register Review Project
On October 25, 2022, the Provincial government introduced More Homes, BuiltFaster:
2023 and subsequently Bill 23, the More
Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 to amend existing provincial legislation, including the Ontario
Heritage Act. This was done to pursue the goal of increasing housing supply to address
affordability in the Province of Ontario. One of the amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act
contained in Bill 23 was the introduction of a two-year time-limit for the listing of non-
designated properties on the Heritage Register. Prior to Bill 23, non-designated properties
could be recognized and protected indefinitely on the Heritage Register. This amendment
has eliminated the Heritage Register as a viable method of long-term recognition and
protection of properties that are listed but not designated.
As a result of Bill 23, Heritage Planning staff created a workplan that was presented to and
th
endorsed by the Heritage Kitchener Committee on February 7, 2023. The workplan, titled
the Municipal Heritage Review Project, committed Heritage Planning staff to the review of
80 listed properties, to determine if they met sufficient criteria for designation.
Implementation of the work plan has now commenced and is anticipated to continue until
the end of 2026. As of the date of this report, a review has been complete for 78
properties. 10 properties are before the Committee as of the date of this report to be
considered for designation. 26 properties have fully undergone the designation process.
27 properties are currently undergoing the designation process and are at various stages
of completion. 15 properties have been reviewed and determined that no action should be
taken at this time.
It should be noted that Heritage Planning staff anticipate the review of more than 80
properties to be complete, due to an extension introduced by Bill 200, the Homeowner
Protection Act, 2024 which received royal assent on June 6, 2024. Bill 200 extended the
original timeline from January 1, 2025 to January 1, 2027.
As a result of the Municipal Heritage Review Project, the number of heritage resources
identified and designated within the City is anticipated to increase significantly. This, in
combination with rising project costs, has prompted Heritage Planning staff to undertake a
review of the Designated Heritage Grant Program.
REPORT:
Proposed Updates
A review and comparative analysis of other municipal heritage programs as well as an
analysis of the performance of the Designated Heritage Grant Program in the past 10 years
(since 2014) has led staff to recommend that changes be made to the Designated Heritage
Grant Program. The recommended changes are as follows:
1. The existing maximum grant value which can be awarded to a successful applicant
is proposed to be increased from $3000 to $5000 per property per year, subject to
the availability of funding. This amount was chosen as it reflected a former
Provincial Heritage Grant Program.
2. An increase to the annual capital budget allocation per year from $30k to $90k to
fund increased grants and introduce a new two-tiered system, which would permit
two $15k grants per year for Special Projects.
Work may be classified as a Special Project if it has multiple components and demonstrates
that best conservation practices are being used, and thus by extension has a higher cost
than the average application. This may include the repair or restoration of structural
elements, should it be demonstrated that such work is required to conserve and stabilize
original buildings and/or structures on the property. Work must be approved as a Special
Project by Heritage Planning staff prior to applying, and additional criteria will be considered
in the awarding of this type of grant. This includes giving priority to projects where the
integrity of the cultural heritage resource may be threatened if work is not undertaken, and/or
projects which seek to restore existing original elements over replacement or include the
maximum retention of historic fabric. Preference will also be provided to properties that have
not previously been awarded a Special Project grant.
If the proposed changes to the programs are endorsed then, by association, the
administrative procedures and guidelines for the program must be amended. The revised
Guidelines for the Designated Heritage Grant Program includes the proposed updates
outlined in this report and is attached as Attachment B to this report. The amendments also
include minor changes to wording and formatting to improve legibility and ease of
understanding for readers and to comply with the requirements of the Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
Heritage Grant Programs in Other Municipalities
Table 3 summarizes the heritage grant programs available in fifteen different municipalities
across Ontario. The research indicates that most programs offer matching grants of up to
half (50%) of eligible costs. Notable, however, is the range in maximums permitted. They
vary between $5,000 to $20,000, with Hamilton offering as much as $150,000 plus $20,000
for certain types of buildings in specific identified areas. Seven of the fifteen municipalities
offer maximums of $5,000 for all work or general work, while one offers a maximum of
$6,000.
Four of the fifteen municipalities utilize tiered systems where the maximum allowed is
dependent on certain criteria being met. These criteria may relate to the type of work

STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT:
This report supports the delivery of core services.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Capital Budget
The review of the Designated Heritage Property Grant Program is being undertaken in two
steps. The first step involves reviewing the existing program and its Administrative
Procedures and Operating Guidelines (the subject of this report). A second step will involve
a report addressing the Capital Budget allocated to the program.
Changes to the administrative procedures and operating guidelines which are financial in
nature include:
Establishing a two-tiered system which will categorize projects as either
Increasing the maximum grant value for General Projects from $3000 to $5000 per
property per year; and
Adding the opportunity for two Special Projects to be awarded a maximum of $15,000
per property per year.
Under the existing program, which provides just over $30,000 from the Capital Budget to
the Designated Heritage Grant Program annually, if all applicants are eligible for the
maximum $3000 grant than the City could award 10-11 designated properties. Assuming
the same parameters, the changes recommended in this report would result in an increase
in the dollar value of the grants awarded but a decrease in the number of grants awarded.
As such, Heritage Planning staff are requesting Council consideration to increase the
existing Capital Budget for this program as part of its 2025 Capital Budget deliberations. If
an additional $60,000 is granted to Capital Budget for the DHG Program, creating a total
annual allocation of $90,000, then this would allow for 12 General Project grants be awarded
at the maximum of $5,000 and two Special Project grants be awarded at $15,000 per
program year. The program would then be able to perform at the same capacity as it
historically has, while providing greater assistance to property owners completing
conservation or maintenance to their heritage resource.
Operating Budget
The recommendation has no impact on the Operating Budget.

Introduction
Kitchener has its own unique culture and
heritage. Our places, spaces, and stories are
integral to our identity and play a role in the
function and development of the City
through various means, including creating a
sense of place and cultural identity,
attracting investment and specialized
industries, and reducing material
consumption and waste in landfills.
The Ontario Heritage Act is the provincial
legislation that provides municipalities with
the tools and responsibility to identify,
evaluate, and conserve cultural heritage
resources that have value or interest to the
communit y. Properties may be designated
individually under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act or designated under Part V of
the Ontario Heritage Act as part of a
Heritage Conservation District.
Owners of property in the City of Kitchener
designated under Part IV or Part V of the
Ontario Heritage Act may be eligible to
receive an annual grant towards the
conservation, reconstruction or restoration
of their cultural heritage resource. The
following procedures and operating
guidelines are to be used in administering
the program.
