9. Westwind Application:
An application concerning the Westwind property in Claremont was discussed.
Heritage Pickering does not oppose the development of the site into a golf course,
banquet facility, bed and breakfast,resort, etc. However,requests that we be kept
informed of any proposed changes to the original structures on the property.
10) Artwork for Plaques/Types of Plaques:
The plaques which we have paid for were discussed. Also the possibility of
different types of plaques for properties with historical significance, etc. was
discussed. The Westwind property is the birth place of Tom Thompson from the
Group of 7. (Documentation exists with the Evans' family to prove this) Sherry
Senis contacted Kim Thompson regarding the possibility of plaguing the sight
without designating it. This is a practice Heritage Pickering has agreed to in the
past with the Monica Cook House. It was agreed that a standard format must be
agreed upon to ensure consistency with all types of plaques. Cathy Tredway will
contact the company we dealt with for designation signs to investigate options and
costs.
