Review of Cameco ‘Vision 2010’ EA Re: the Cultural Heritage Resources of the Center Pier, Port Hope
This report by heritage preservation consultant Andre Scheinman examines the requirements for an environmental assessment such as the one carried out by Cameco in support of the Vision 2010 project. The Environmental Assessment Act specifically states that an EA must consider “any change that the project may cause in the environment, including any effects of such change..., on physical and cultural heritage....” Scheinman concludes that “Regardless of any prior agreement with the Port Hope Harbour Commission, within the Federal EA process Cameco is bound to review the cultural and physical resources of the Centre Pier for their inherent cultural value and it is that upon which their treatment as described within the EIS should be based.”
Heritage Assessment of the Port Hope Centre Pier
Prepared by Dr. Christopher Andreae of Historica Research, and with Forward by Mr. Ian Montagnes, this study is a fascinating insight into the history of the Centre Pier and the part it has played over the years in our prosperity.
To quote Christopher Andreae, “The Centre Pier and Buildings are as much a part of Port Hope’s built cultural heritage, as any of the buildings that have been the subject of preservation efforts in the town. They are simply not yet recognized as such.”
