Farr, Jason Yes Yes. While we have advanced in this area and publicly demonstrated a greater understanding and ultimately support for the issue, we need to continue to build on this momentum.

This past term of Council I was proud to have received and acted on the input from a very engaged citizenry as it relates to heritage.

I was supported in unprecedented fashion twice on emergency designations (1 St. James Place and the Gore Buildings), helped save the friezes and facades at 150 Main, voted and spoke strongly and supportively of the Gore Building and Mills Hardware with City Housing Hamilton and of course moved with unanimous support to expedite the work that resulted in listing over 900 buildings of heritage interest.
Heaton, Kristina No As long as developers get final say, and manage to keep the front façade of a building, while they build ultra modern 'condos' attached, there is not much more that can be done right now. But, I'm sure our local Heritage Council is working on that.
Wallis, Terri Yes
