Prince Edward County
“Through education and advocacy, to encourage the conservation and reuse of structures, districts and landscapes of architectural, historic and cultural significance, to inspire and benefit Ontarians.”
Built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes are recognized as an important part of what shapes Prince Edward County's distinct identity and special sense of place. We recognize our heritage as including pre- and post- settlement aspects.
PEC is rich in built heritage and cultural heritage landscapes, as well as intangible heritage particular to the County. Currently, PEC is experiencing extreme development pressure on farmland, settlement areas, shorelines, and natural environment areas, which threatens our heritage.
The PEC branch engages with our community to identify practical, thoughtful and creative ways to conserve the County's rich built and landscape heritage. The branch provides enjoyable, educational activities for the public, to raise awareness about the cultural and natural heritage.
ACO PEC is committed to conserving the County's special 'sense of place'. We will anticipate change and work with our municipality and community to embrace, accommodate or adapt to change as appropriate: and mitigate, prevent and oppose change when there is an adverse impact.
