Heritage protections and permits depend on the type and significance of a place and the responsible national, provincial or local authority. Check the official guidance and contact the appropriate authority before making alterations.
A TownHub issue report is not automatically an official heritage-authority complaint, permit application or emergency report. Contact the authority directly when formal action is required.
