The creation of a province wide organization of Local Architectural Conservation Advisory Committees was proposed at the 1988 LACAC Conference in Sault Ste. Marie, and a Steering Committee was created to investigate this proposal. The Steering Committee's recommendation for the creation of the new organization was adopted at the 199O Conference in Guelph where an Interim Board was elected.
The work of the Interim Board paved the way for the official establishment of Community Heritage Ontario at the 1992 Conference in Peterborough.
