- 72 Gordon Street - Objection to Notice of Intention to Designate - 2025-210.pdf
Following a formal objection from owner Nancy Schnurr, staff ask Council to receive that objection and still pass the heritage designation bylaw for 72 Gordon Street, the former MacKey Bread Company building. Staff say the building meets five of nine provincial tests for heritage value. Designation would let the city review changes, enforce maintenance and refuse demolition. Council had until July 24, 2025 to decide.

42:38So I'll call the vote on that everyone. Is there anyone against? Please raise your hand. All right. So Chiu, Gull or Guthrie?
42:50And maybe. Oh, okay. I'm Billings. Thank you so much. Okay. So that passes. Thank you very much.
42:59And now we are off of the consent and we are moving into the applications to hear under the planning act. The first one is 725 Imperial Road North, which is a proposed zoning bylaw amendment.
