This week the City of North Bay and the North Bay Municipal Heritage Committee will join municipalities and organizations throughout the province in celebrating Ontario Heritage Week 2019.
Heritage Week is an opportunity for residents to recognize and acknowledge local history and those individuals that have made their mark on our community.
"The North Bay Municipal Heritage Committee invites residents to take a moment to reflect on the community’s history," says spokesman Peter Carello. "The North Bay Municipal Heritage Committee contributes to the recognition of local history through a series of programs and endeavours. This includes the production of an illustrative guide of properties with heritage significance, the placement of an annual Heritage Site plaque and a Youth Photography Contest."
The committee’s newest program is a podcast known as the “Heritage Diaries,” which is a series of interviews with residents that chronicles interesting passages of our history.
To learn more about any of the committee’s activities, please visit www.cityofnorthbay.ca/heritage.
The North Bay Municipal Heritage Committee is made up of community volunteers appointed by North Bay city council. Formed in 1996, the committee’s mandate is to advise and assist council on matters related to heritage places and buildings.
