for his efforts and all the hard work he has provided to date on this project. Gordon provided a brief overview of the listing, clarifying the areas on the map which the listing incorporates.
A general discussion ensued with respect to the heritage register with the following recommendations being made: • Invite a Planning representative out to our next meeting to provide
background information with respect to having a district declared as a heritage district • Duffin heights should be the next area to survey for the registry • Shirley and Gordon to do
survey of this area • Jim suggested each Committee member take a turn going out with Gordon to see what is involved in placing a property on the registry list, so they could in turn
go out to help take some of the burden off of Gordon – he offered to go out this weekend with Shirley and Gordon Next steps: • Look over the list and map out for 2009 what we need to
pursue for designation • Prioritize and identify properties • Discussed time frames involved for having properties designated • Churches may be easier to designate, as less research
would be involved • Correspond with Planning to inform them of the listing the Committee has created and that we would like to look into having Dunbarton declared as a heritage district
