WHEREAS the Vittoria Town Hall, as a County-owned asset designated under the Ontario Heritage Act through By-Law 61-87, is described in its Statement of Significance as "one of three important buildings completing the courthouse square - the heart of Vittoria. It is a good example of early, simple, functional, box-like structure built to accommodate the town's business and to house the court sessions at intervals. Its style is derived from the neo-classic building tradition and is designed with a high regard for its niceties of proportion. Historically, the building has been intimately associated with the life of the town since its erection in 1870."; AND WHEREAS the property meets the prescribed criteria outlined in O.Reg. 9/06 as having historical or associative value because it yields, or has the potential to yield, information that contributes to an understanding of a community or culture; THAT the Norfolk Heritage Committee recommends that Council consider all creative, community-based proposals, employing ongoing consultation with the Norfolk Heritage Committee, to assist with and ensure the responsible heritage conservation of this historically significant property.

THAT the Statement of Significance be accepted as presented; AND THAT the Statement of Significance be forwarded to Council for consideration.
