A group of local heritage advocates have come together to try to save the Robert McLaughlin House on Simcoe Street North from being torn down.
To date, a petition has garnered just under 2,000 signatures ahead of Monday’s council meeting in the hopes of saving the home from demolition.
Heritage advocate Cathy Clarke, who started the petition, says the fact the petition has garnered as much support as it has in less than a week shows there is a desire to keep the building and that other options should be entertained.
