Summary
This report recommends that City Council include seven properties identified in Recommendation 1 of this report on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The properties being recommended for inclusion on the Heritage Register are:
· 15A Grierson Road (Pine Point Golf and Country Club Clubhouse, c.1936)
· 2448 Lake Shore Boulevard West (Bank of Montreal, Mimico Branch, c.1924)

The properties recommended for listing are from the backlog of outstanding community nominations to the City's Heritage Register that are located within the Etobicoke York Community Council area.
In 2019, Council approved the phased implementation of the Toronto Heritage Survey, an ambitious, multi-year program that will modernize the day-to-day work of City Planning. The survey program is using emerging international best practices to efficiently and effectively identify heritage resources throughout the City while providing timely research and base-line data for heritage conservation districts and other area planning studies. A major outcome of the survey will be greater clarity for City Planning, communities and property owners about the location and value of heritage resources in Toronto.
As directed by Council through phase one of the Survey staff have prioritized the review of outstanding nominations. Staff are undertaking this work geographically by Community Council area beginning with 28 nominations within Etobicoke York. This process included consultation with the Etobicoke York Community Preservation Panel, various divisions for City-owned property, and nominators.
All of the recommended listed properties meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City applies when assessing properties for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register.
Staff will continue addressing the existing nomination backlog working geographically across the City and will next report on the review of the nominated properties located in Scarborough.
Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan heritage policies.
