Significant
In regard to cultural heritage and archaeology, means resources that have been determined to have cultural heritage value or interest for the important contribution they make to our understanding of the history of a place, an event, or a people. Criteria for determining significance are recommended by the Province, but municipal approaches that achieve or exceed the same objective may also be used. While some significant resources may already be identified and inventoried by official sources, the significance of others can only be determined after evaluation. [PPS 2014]

What is an Archaeology Master Plan (AMP)?
What is a Cultural Action Plan (CAP)?
A CAP collaborative community process facilitated by the County, approved by Council, that will identify and leverage the County’s cultural resources, strengthening the management of those resources, and integrating those cultural resources across all facets of County planning and decision-making.
A CAP is part of an integrated, place-based approach to decision making that takes into account four pillars of sustainability: economic prosperity, social equity, environmental responsibility and cultural vitality.
The CAP includes the process that we use to make the plan, and the ongoing actions that we will need to undertake to maintain and enhance cultural elements.
Indigenous culture may include aspects that we do not understand. Therefore, A CAP facilitates a process that increases our understanding.
