Properties come to the attention of Heritage Preservation Services staff in a number of ways. They have a program of ongoing city surveys to ensure that the Inventory of Heritage Properties is as comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date as possible. In addition, members of the public may request that a property be examined and considered for inclusion in the Inventory. When staff recommends a property's inclusion in the Inventory, property owners are usually notified and invited to attend the Toronto Preservation Board and Community Council meetings to discuss the matter.
