File Number: n/a 

Applicants: Municipality of Lakeshore 

Location of Property: 7119 Tecumseh Road, Municipality of Lakeshore 

The Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O.1990, c. O.18 as amended, provides that council of a municipality may initiate the process to pass a by-law to repeal the existing designation by-law for a designated property, under Section 31 of the Ontario Heritage Act. 

The Council of the Municipality of Lakeshore hereby gives Notice that it intends to repeal By-law No. 84-2007, which designates the Property as being of heritage value or interest under the Ontario Heritage Act. 

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest: 

The Property containedStoney Point Church, a Romanesque Revival church with French Canadian Roman Catholic architectural influences. The designating by-law for the Property, By-law 84-2007, indicates that the church was constructed in 1905 and was the only church commission for Louis Caron Junior in Ontario. The church reflected the traditions of church building in Quebec with Romanesque revival style architectural features. The church included pressed tin accents along the roofline, a pipe organ installed in 1911, stained glass windows, and other features identified as heritage attributes.  

None of the heritage attributes remain on-site as the church was demolished due to the structural condition and health and safety issues with the structure.
