A searchable database containing information on over 5,000 heritage properties in Ontario.

To be included in the database, a property must be recognized or protected in one or more of these ways:

• listed on the Ontario Heritage Bridge List
• protected by the federal Heritage Railway Stations Protection Act
• designated a National Historic Site
• listed in the Canadian Register of Heritage Properties 

The database will grow as more information is added - photographs, construction dates and reasons for designation

Ontario Heritage Bridge List

This list includes about 90 heritage bridges of provincial significance. It helps ensure that the significance of these bridges is taken into account when municipalities undertake road projects covered by the Environmental Assessment Act. Many of the bridges on the list are protected by municipal designation; five are protected by Ontario Heritage Trust conservation easements.

Local municipalities, heritage groups or individuals can recommend additions to the list. The list is maintained by the Ministry of Culture. For more information, please call Karla Barboza, Conservation Advisor at (416) 314-7120 or email:karla.barboza@ontario.ca
