A Heritage Conservation Service Bylaw (Bylaw 520, 2005) was created to support the Commission to focus on the creation of a Community Heritage Registry. The Commission decides which historical sites should be added to the Registry. Potential sites can be nominated by the public, Commission members or from the Regional District Heritage Values study.
