Oshawa City Council has given heritage designations to two significant landmarks in the city.
Council endorsed a heritage designation for the whole of Lakeview Park and the Second Marsh under the
Ontario Heritage Act at its March 29, 2021 meeting.
Regional and City Councillor Brian Nicholson says this is a “signature motion” for the city to give these sites heritage designations, who notes the reaction from the community has been universal in support of the designations.
