elcome to the web-site of Heritage Port Hope Advisory Committee (HPHAC).
 
The Heritage Port Hope Advisory Committee was established in 1977 and is a   committee appointed by the Municipality of Port Hope to advise on heritage matters in accordance with the Ontario Heritage Act (OHA).   As appointed volunteers we help owners and business operators of designated properties with applications to make proposed changes to their homes and shops.  We are directed by guidelines, standards and bylaws published by the Municipality and the Province.

The primary focus of Heritage Port Hope is to promote heritage conservation within the community and advise property owners on appropriate conservation practices. We recognize that heritage conservation goes beyond strict regulations and enforcement to include a co-operative approach when working with property owners and we encourage adaptive reuse as a way of preserving heritage architecture for future generations.

Heritage Port Hope Aadvisory Committee members are available to discuss planned renovation and restoration projects or assist with the completion of heritage applications. If an owner wishes to designate their property (i.e. protect it under the OHA), please contact any member of HPH. The necessary research will be completed, and documentation prepared, with input from the owner and the Municipal Council. The goal of Heritage Port Hope is to help in any way possible with applications and designations! It is our honour to play a part in the preservation and conservation of Port Hope's rich architectural heritage.
