2.0 PROTECTING CULTURAL HERITAGE RESOUCES
2.1 fn achieving its cultural heritage objectives, the tools that the Municipality has at its
disposal are the goals and objectives of the Official Plan, the Provincial Policy
Statement and the Ontario Heritage Act. The Clarington Official Plan sets out the goal
of preservation, restoration and utilization of Clarington's heritage resources and the
Provincial Policy Statement states that significant built heritage resources and
significant cultural heritage landscapes shall be conserved.
2.2 The Ontario Heritage Act was amended in 2005 to provide municipalities with greater
control over demolition of heritage resources along with other matters. A further
amendment to the Act in June of 2006 has provided additional tools and greater
flexibility to Municipalities with regard to heritage matters.
2.3 Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act requires the Municipal Clerk to keep a Register of all
properties that have been designated by by-law within the Municipality. The Register
may also include properties that have not been designated but that the Council believes
are of cultural heritage value or interest.
2.4 If anon-designated property is listed on the Register the owner of the property cannot
demolish or remove a building or structure unless they give Council at least 60 days
notice in writing of their intentions. The notice is to include such plans and information
as Council may require. The 60 day period allows Council to consider whether a
demolition permit should be issued or whether the property should be designated.
2.5 While it is not a requirement under the Ontario Heritage Act, Council requested Staff
contact the owners of properties prior to a report recommending addition of a building or
structure to the Municipal Register occurs. The complete list of non-designated
buildings that are currently on the Municipal Register is included as Attachment 2.

Municipal Register of Properties of Cultural Heritage Value or Interest. The Committee
of Adjustment approved the application on May 13, 2010. No appeals have been
received as of the writing of this report.
4.0 HISTORY OF THE BUILDING
4.1 Robert McLaughlin, the founder of General Motors of Canada, was born on the family
homestead in Tyrone. In 1867 McLaughlin built two cutters in his driving shed in Tyrone
and by 1869 his business had prospered to the extent that he established the
McLaughlin Carriage Works in Enniskillen on Scugog Street. The enterprise expanded
rapidly and was moved to Oshawa in 1877 where it became the largest carriage works
in the British Empire. Known locally as the McLaughlin shed, the accessory structure
located at 7755 Old Scugog Road is the only remaining evidence of the McLaughlin
Carriage Works operation in Enniskillen. Subsequent uses of the building included a
wagon and blacksmith shop owned by brothers Pat and Jim Maroney. The structure's
relation to the McLaughlin fame has been recognized by a sign on the building donated
in 2005 by Edgar and Annie Wright, who were then in their nineties and who were long
term residents of Enniskillen.
5.0 CONCLUSION
5.1 In general, the Clarington Heritage Committee is in support of adding significant built
heritage resources to the Municipal Register.
5.2 The McLaughlin shed is of cultural heritage value to Enniskillen, the Municipality and
automotive history in Ontario. Staff are recommending that the accessory building be
added to the Municipal Register as anon-designated Property of Cultural Heritage
Value or Interest.
5.3 The Committee of Adjustment included as a condition of approval of the minor variance
that the building be added to the Municipal Register.
