On Thursday, Nov. 15, the Town of Bridgetown will present a public information session focused on Built Heritage. Kevin Barrett and Jeffrey Reed, of the Nova Scotia Department of Tourism, Culture and Heritage, will be on hand to speak about the Heritage Property Program and the Standards and Guidelines for Conservation of Historic Places. Reed will also speak about the connection between preserving built heritage and sustainable development.
Included in the evening’s program will be a presentation, by Bridgetown resident Rachel Brighton, showing the Bridgetown properties that are registered with the Nova Scotia Historic Places Initiative and Canada’s Historic Places. Brighton recently completed a project preparing Statements of Significance for seven of Bridgetown’s municipally registered heritage properties. These properties are now included in the provincial and federal registries, along with the three provincially registered properties in town: the James House, the Masonic Hall and the Morse-Magwood House.
The information session will take place in the new meeting/reception room at the End of the Line Pub beginning at 7 p.m. The evening’s program has been put together by Steve Raftery, Community Development Coordinator for the Town of Bridgetown. This session will be of interest to: owners of older homes or buildings, owners of registered heritage properties, members of Heritage Advisory Committees, contractors, building supply companies, insurers and anyone with an interest in built heritage.
For more information, please contact Steve Raftery at 824-0387.
