Kleinburg-Nashville Heritage Conservation District Plan Update
Preserving and maintaining the history and integrity of Vaughan’s communities is an important part of what makes the city a dynamic and attractive place to live, work and play.
The City is updating the Kleinburg-Nashville Heritage Conservation District Plan to determine what is required to continue protecting the area’s heritage properties and landscapes.
The City has approved the first phase of the project, the comprehensive Study report that informs the Plan Update, in July 2020. The Study report was reviewed by, and received input from the local residents who were invited to attend the public open house presentation in February 2020, and from Heritage Vaughan Committee who attended the presentation in May 2020. To review the results of this meeting, please click on “Project Updates” below.
The final phase of this project, the KNHCD Plan Update, is currently underway. A first draft of this document is available for public review and comments, and a new ONLINE public open house presentation will take place in January 2021. Between now and then, you are invited to download the draft document, and submit your comments and input via email to the address on this site.
Your valuable contributions will be collected and implemented into the Draft Plan, which will be presented to Heritage Vaughan Committee on Wednesday 17 February 2021 at 7:00pm. Links to that online presentation will be made available to the public during the week prior to the meeting.

Answer
Recognized as a Heritage Conservation District, the Village of Kleinburg is a tourist destination, local business hub and home to many. The Kleinburg-Nashville Heritage Conservation District Study and Plan (PDF) took place between 2007 and 2009 as Part Five of the Ontario Heritage Act, RSO 1990, Chapter 0.18. The study and plan provided data to support the designation of a Heritage Conservation District for a portion of the Kleinburg-Nashville community in the city of Vaughan, and it established policies and guidelines for the preservation and enhancement of the heritage resources and character within the District.
The plan requires an update. The City of Vaughan is seeking ways to continue protecting properties and landscapes determined to be of cultural heritage value or interest, and the study will update the current planning framework, review applicable policies and amend existing cultural heritage assets within the study area.Kleinburg-Nashville Heritage Conservation District Area Map

- Prepare the Study Report outlining the proposed updated plan: Summer 2020
