MCHS Community Forum & Annual General Meeting
2023-05-25 18:30 - 20:30 UTC | Millbrook Legion Hall, Millbrook Ontario, 9 King St E, Millbrook, Ontario, L0A 1G0, Canada
Topic: Creating a Heritage Conservation District in Downtown Millbrook
Please join the Millbrook and Cavan Historical Society for a community discussion and information session regarding the implementation of a Heritage Conservation District.
We have seen many communities, such as Port Hope, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and others benefit from implementing a heritage conservation district that aims to preserve the unique architecture and character of a given area. We have invited special guests to answer questions about this subject, provide insight on the benefits and drawbacks, and dispell common misconceptions about what this would mean for owners of buildings and businesses in the area. Gain a better understanding and provide your thoughts and input at this community forum. All are welcome.
Dinner will be through the Royal Canadian Legion; they will be cooking up hamburgers, hot dogs, and other items on the barbeque. Coffee, tea, and sweets will be provided by the MCHS. The Legion only accepts cash, we recommend each attendee bring at least $15 cash to cover their meal. The bar will also be open during the event so you can have soft drinks, beer, wine, or spirits.
Please email us to RSVP for the dinner portion so we can ensure the Legion is well prepared: millbrookcavanhs@gmail.com or complete the form online: https://forms.gle/kvnsd15a4MfD33t38
After the Community Forum, please stay for the brief Annual General Meeting from the Millbrook and Cavan Historical Society. Members in good standing will have voting rights and we will be taking nominations for the Board and Executive at this time.
