Government

The Municipality of Yarmouth recognizes the importance of protecting the heritage properties within the municipality. These refer to buildings, streetscapes, sites and other structures of historical, cultural and architectural merit.

Some of the responsibilities of the Heritage Advisory Committee are to evaluate applications made by individuals or organizations to register property as a Municipal Heritage Property, to advise on applications to substantially alter or demolish heritage properties in the municipality, and to recommend that a property be placed in the Municipal Registry, in which there are now more than thirty buildings, monuments, and sites in the Municipality of Yarmouth. Municipality of Yarmouth Heritage Advisory Committee Terms of Reference.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, a standing committee of Council, shall advise and assist Municipal Council in promoting and celebrating our diverse community. This aim shall be achieved through the review of municipal policies, programs, and services resulting in recommendations that will encourage full participation by diverse communities in MODY.
