Conservation Review Board (CRB)

The Conservation Review Board (CRB), was established in 1975 with the passage of the Ontario Heritage Act, as a Schedule I Agency whose mandate is to conduct hearings and make recommendations dealing with objections under Parts IV and VI of the Ontario Heritage Act (Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, as amended, Chapter O.18, Part III, s.24); specifically:

Part IV (individual heritage properties designated by municipalities): hearings for review of a municipal council's decision for proposed designation of a heritage property (the property owner(s) or other individuals may object to the Council's decision to designate, in writing, to Council, by the 30-day deadline specified in the municipality's published Notice of Intention to Designate); of refusal to repeal designation; of refusal to permit alterations to a designated property. The majority of the Board hearings deal with Part IV designations.

Part VI (designation of archaeological sites by Minister of Culture; licensing permits to excavate or alter designated archaeological site): hearings for review of Minister's decision to refuse archaeological licence; to revoke or suspend licence; of Minister's decision to designate or not to repeal designation of an archaeological site; of Minister's decision not to grant or to suspend or revoke permit to excavate or alter designated archaeological site.
