Description of Property The subject property is located at 396 1978 Warminster Sideroad, and measures approximately 0.4 hectares (1 acre) in area. The property is located west of the Warminster settlement between Line 9 North and Line 8 North, on the north side of the road. Being approximately 1.5 kilometers east of the CPKC (Formerly Canadian Pacific) railway line, where the former Carley Station existed. The surrounding area features a concentration of agricultural lands and rural residential properties. Immediately northeast of the 2023 property is a tributary of the ColdwaterRiver, resulting in a portion of the subject property being zoned Environmental Protection (EP). The property includes the following buildings/structures: Date of Structure Construction One-room Schoolhouse 1912 (Carley Community Hall) In addition to the schoolhouse, the property is mostly grassed open space with a small parking lot measuring approximately 640 square meters (6,900 square feet). Description of Building/Structure - Carley Community Hall The Carley Community Hall (formerly Carley School) was built in 1912 as a functioning one-room schoolhouse to serve the community of Carley, which was established with the arrival of therailway in 1907. The building continued to operate as a one-room schoolhouse until 1965. The former schoolhouseis now a community hallrun by the Heritage Committee October 21, 2024 Report No. DS2024-128 Page 2of 17 Page 21 of 41 6.a) DS20240-128, Brianna Belcourt, Policy/Special Projects Planner re: ...

However, as with any building of such age, there isstill somefurther maintenance needed to continue the buildings preservation, including the repair of the original wooden floors. Evaluation under Ontario Regulation 9/06 Section 1(2) of O.Reg 9/06 outlines the criteria for determining whether a property is of cultural heritage value or interest. In order fora property to be designated under Section 29 of the Heritage Act, R.S.O., 1990 c. P. 13, the property is required to meet two or more of the criteria. The criterion is separated intothree main categories: 1.Historical or Associative Value; 2.Design or Physical Value; and, Heritage CommitteeOctober 21, 2024 Report No. DS2024-128Page 3of 17 Page 22 of 41 6.a) DS20240-128, Brianna Belcourt, Policy/Special Projects Planner re: ... 3.Contextual Value. Historical or Associative Value The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) built a line from Toronto to Sudbury in 1907 and the community of Carley was created, named after a local family. A train station, water tank and residence were built by CPR on what is now the Warminster Side Road as a refuel depot and also to serve local farm families. A stockyard was added in 1909 to accommodate the shipment of hogs and cattle. With the presence of the railway and Carley station, expansion of the area began and construction of a one-room schoolhouse, S.S. 19 Medonte (Carley School), commenced in Carley in 1912. Construction of these schools was often a community project, and when completed, they made a much- celebrated addition to any district. This is the case with the Carley School which was constructed by Jack and Archie th Line of Oro Township McDuff of the 7 (Coulson). Carpenters on the job also included locals, Art and Bob Booth of th the 8 Line of Medonte Township. The McDuff Bros. built the schoolhouse using their state-of-the-art cement machine and the school is a true showing of their craftsmanship. The schoolhouse doors opened in 1913 and so the one-room schoolhouse began its th history as the focal point of the community. Up to the middle of the 20century, one- room schoolhouses were an integral part of life in rural Ontario. Miss Maud Bell, a resident of Carley, was the first teacher and welcomed 20 students’ whom she taught grades 1 to 8. As there was no church in Carley, the residents also used the schoolhouse for religious meetings, a common practice of the time. Community picnics were also held on the school grounds at which they had races, games, a luncheon and on occasion ice Heritage Committee October 21, 2024 Report No. DS2024-128 Page 4of 17 Page 23 of 41 6.a) DS20240-128, Brianna Belcourt, Policy/Special Projects Planner re: ... cream. The school had a sports field which the resident youngsters used to play basketball and football. The rail station closed and was tore down in 1965. The Carley School unfortunately followed suit, graduating its last 15 students taught by Mr. Robert Ritchie and 1965. Unlike the rails station, the schoolhouse structure remains, with many of its original components (i.e. brick, chalkboard, bell tower, ceiling, etc.), and is used as a community hall. Many ofthe focal points in Carley have in time disappeared, leaving the schoolhouse as the community’s main remaining connection to its heritage. Design or Physical Value The construction and style of CarleyHall is representative of the early 1900’s and tells a story of the past, while highlighting the high degree of craftmanship of local builders. This is particularly exemplified through the following original components of the building: 1. The Exterior Brickwork (Rusticated Concrete Block) Carley Hall is an increasingly rare example of a historical building technique known as rusticated block, which was popular in the late 19th and early 20th century. Rusticated concrete blocks were an inexpensive alternative to brick or stone and were created right on the building site. They were made from readily available raw materials (cement, sand, and aggregates — important in a time of decreasing lumber supply) and assembled like ordinary masonry. Rusticated blocks were also touted as convenient, fireproof, lighter than stone, and stronger than brick. In the 1930s new automated machines, which could only produce smooth blocks, appeared on the scene. Along with changing architectural taste and new building materials, these machines led to rusticated block construction becoming a thing of the past. The contract for the construction of Carley School (now known as the Carley Hall) was awarded to local buildersArchie and John McDuff of neighboring Coulson. After more than 100 years the blocks that make up the exterior of Carley Hall remain in excellent condition. 2. The Bell Tower (Belfry) The belfry on the roof of the schoolhouse encases the original school bell. Belfies are a common Heritage Committee October 21, 2024 Report No. DS2024-128 Page 5of 17 Page 24 of 41 6.a) DS20240-128, Brianna Belcourt, Policy/Special Projects Planner re: ... architectural component of one-roomschoolhouses. School bells were rung at the commencement of the school day, and periodically after that to mark milestones of the day. 3. The Chalkboard The chalkboard is original to the building and its presence today helps tell the story of the building’s history as the Carley School, S. S. No. 19 Medonte. In the early years of schools, blackboards/chalkboards were the main teaching and learning aid, as other aids and equipment were very scarce, expensive or non-existent. 4. The Tin Ceiling. The ceilings of the Carley Hall are finished with tinplate with designs pressed into them. A tin ceiling is an architectural element that was very popular in Victorian buildings in North America in the late 19th and early 20th century. This interior adornment was advertised for its design, economy, and fire resistance. Contextual Value The property and Carley Hall are physically, visually and historically linked to its surroundings. The site has been home to an institutional or public use since its construction in 1912, which continues to serve the surrounding community. The Hall has become a landmark for the Carley community and a reminder of its past. Heritage Committee October 21, 2024 Report No. DS2024-128 Page 6of 17 Page 25 of 41 6.a) DS20240-128, Brianna Belcourt, Policy/Special Projects Planner re: ... Evaluation In summary, the Carley Community Hall meets the following criteria: 1. The property has design value or physical value because it is a rare, unique, representative or early example of a style, type, expression, material or construction method; 2. The property has design value or physical value because it displays a high degree of craftsmanship or artistic merit; 3. The property has historical value or associative value because it has direct associations with a theme, event, belief, person, activity, organization or institution that is significant to a community; 4. The property has contextual value because it is important in defining, maintaining or supporting the character of an area; and, 5. The property has contextual value because it is physically, functionally, visually or historically linked to its surroundings. Statement of Cultural Heritage Value The property municipally known as 396 Warminster Sideroad (Part West Half Lot 7, Concession 9, former Township of Medonte) holds cultural heritage value and interest to the Township of Oro-Medonte. The Carley Community Hall (formerly Carley School, S.S. No. 19 Medonte) stands as a reminder of the early days of schooling in rural Ontario and the role the one-room schoolhouse played as a community gathering place. The original chalkboard and bell tower represent these early days of education in the area. The interior tin ceiling is a rare example of this architectural feature. The exterior brickwork is a well-preserved caseof a once-popular building technique, rusticated concrete block, perfected by local builders of the day. These features are worthy of heritage designation. List of Heritage Attributes to be Preserved The following are the attributes that have been identified to be preserved: 1. The Exterior Brickwork of the Building (Rusticated Concrete Block); 2. The Bell Tower; 3. The Chalkboard; and, 4. The Tin Ceiling.

Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism Update: Summary of Bill 200 amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act Schedule 2 of the Homeowner Protection Act, 2024 (Bill 200) made amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act to address matters related to non-designated or “listed” properties included on municipal registers. These changes came into force upon Royal Assent, which occurred on June 6, 2024. The changes are as follows: Extension to the timeframe for reviewing “legacy listed properties” Legacy listed properties are listed properties that were included on a municipal register as of December 31, 2022. Municipalities now have until January 1, 2027 to issue a notice of intention to designate (NOID) before these properties must be removed from the register. Any properties removed because a NOID was not issued by January 1, 2027 cannot be relisted on the register for a period of five years starting January 1, 2027 (i.e. not until January 1, 2032). Regulation making authorities were also including to allowing for these dates to be amended in the future, prior to their expiration. Voluntarily removal oflisted properties Bill 200 established rules for how voluntarily removing a listed property ahead of the relevant legislated timelines and removal requirements would impact the application of the listing rules, including a municipality’s ability to relist the property. For anylisted property voluntarily removed on or after June 6, 2024, the five-year prohibition on listing would start from the date that property is voluntarily removed from the register. Different rules have been established for legacy listed properties that had been voluntarily removed from the register on or after January 1, 2023, but before June 6, 2024. These rules are as follows: All the listing rules (legislated timelines and removal requirements) would continue to apply despite the voluntary removal. The property could be relisted following the process set out in the OHA, so long as it is relisted prior to the application of a listing rule, including the legislated deadline of January 1, 2027. However: o If a notice of intention to designate is not issued by January 1, 2027, the property would need to be removed from the register again and the five- year prohibition on relisting would start as of this date. 1 Page 40 of 41 6.c) Catherine McCarroll, Senior Planner re: Ministry of Citizenship and... o If a notice of intention to designate isissued by January 1, 2027, and the notice withdrawn, deemed withdrawn or the Ontario Land Tribunal repeals or directs the repeal of the designation bylaw, the property would need to be removed from the register again as of the date of that action and the five-year prohibition on relisting would begin as of that date. o If the property isvoluntarily removed again prior to January 1, 2027, the five-year prohibition on relisting would start as of thedateof the subsequent voluntary removal. If the property isnot relisted prior to January 1, 2027, and no notice of intention to designate isissued for the property by January 1, 2027, it cannot be relisted for a period of five-years beginning January 1, 2027. If the property isnot relisted prior to January 1, 2027, but a notice of intention to designate the delisted property is issued by January 1, 2027, and the designation does not proceed, the property cannot be relisted again for a period of five years as of the date the notice is withdrawn, deemed withdrawn or the Ontario Land Tribunal repealed or directed the repeal of the designation bylaw, as applicable. For properties that were added to the register as a listed property on or after January 1, 2023, (i.e., “non-legacy listed properties”) and then voluntarily removed from the register before June 6, 2024, the five-year prohibition on relisting startsas of the date that they were voluntarily removed.
