Committee would like to consider de-designating the pavilion at 72 Francis Street in Fenelon Falls as there is not much of the original gazebo left but cannot find too much information regarding it. Committee members pointed out that the address on the by-law for this gazebo may be incorrect since there is another historically note-worthy gazebo in Fenelon Falls. There is a little white gazebo with a handmade plaque on it that members feel is the correct gazebo to be designated. No changes are to be made to 72 Francis Street until more information is found.
An error was made at time of amalgamation that ended up incorrectly listing the General Store at 973 Eldon Road in Oakwood. It was recently discovered that it is the antique store across the street from it located at 977 Eldon Road that is the designated building. The property owners will be notified by staff.
