Community Heritage Ontario - Le Patrimoine Communautaire de
L'Ontario (CHO) was incorporated in 1991 to provide a
non-profit provincial umbrella organization in support of
municipally-appointed heritage advisory committees. These local
volunteer committees are known as Municipal Heritage
Committees (formerly called LACACs - Local Architectural
Conservation Advisory Committees) and exist to advise local
municipal councils on heritage matters.
CHO's mission is to be an advocate for heritage in Ontario, to
encourage the development of municipally-appointed heritage
advisory committees and to further the identification,
preservation, interpretation and wise use of community heritage
locally, provincially and nationally.
Community Heritage Ontario wishes to acknowledge the
continuing support of the Ontario Ministry of Culture, and
our MHC members in helping to fulfill this mandate.
