NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE
Take notice that the Council of the Corporation of the Town of South Bruce Peninsula
intends to designate the Wiarton Train Station building located at the municipal address
known as 400 William Street, to be a building of cultural heritage value or interest under
the provisions of Part IV Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.

Description of Property ­ Wiarton Train Station, 400 William Street.
The Wiarton Train Station building is located in Bluewater Park in the former Town of
Wiarton. The Train Station building and attached pavilion structure are used for
municipal purposes. The property upon which the building and pavilion are situated do
not form part of this designation.

Statement of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest
The Wiarton Train Station is a building of cultural heritage value due to the architectural
design of the building. It was built of locally milled pine, white cedar and hemlock. The
Wiarton Train Station is one of six known buildings in Canada which still retains its
original coffered geometrically patterned tongue and groove ceilings. Much of this
composite Queen Anne/Chateau style wooden building is intact as originally designed.
This is rare in station buildings which by their nature, were prone to upgrades, changes
and modernizations.

More information regarding this intention to designate may be obtained from the
undersigned.

Notice of any objection to the proposed designation may be served on the Town Clerk,
c/o 315 George Street, PO Box 310, Wiarton ON N0H 2T0 within thirty days of the 1st
of April, 2009. The notice must set out the reason(s) for the objection, and all relevant
facts.

Dated at the Town of South Bruce Peninsula this 1st day of April, 2009.

Rhonda Cook, CMO
Clerk
Town of South Bruce Peninsula
