Matters for Consideration 7.1 Memorandum from Manager, Policy Planning and Heritage; Re: Draft Heritage Awards Program Guide Staff gave an overview of the memorandum and proposed Heritage Awards Program Guide toward re-activation of the awards program. The Committee expressed support for the proposed program and made suggestions regarding the addition of a youth award category; the addition of a potential category for the preservation/display of artefacts; a biennial heritage awards event to alternate with a potential heritage fair; and inclusion of a monetary award along with an award certificate or plaque. The Committee further recommended that the Heritage Awareness and Achievement award category for Individuals, Businesses, Groups and Organizations be split so that individuals would be able to be recognized in a separate distinct category in and of itself. Moved by John Green Seconded by Rocco Morsillo 1. That the memorandum regarding Draft Heritage Awards Program Guide be received; and 2. That the Heritage Advisory Committee comments regarding Draft Heritage Awards Program Guide be received and referred to staff for consideration and further action as appropriate. Carried 7.2 Memorandum from Manager, Policy Planning and Heritage; Re: Draft Heritage Grant Program Staff provided an overview of the memorandum and highlighted the inclusion of previous feedback from the Committee in the development of the Draft Heritage Grant Program. The Committee expressed support for the proposed Heritage Grant Program and tiered approach. The Committee and staff further discussed various aspects including concerns regarding the increased graffiti in Town and grant support for repetitive graffiti remediation; federal and provincial grant opportunities and sharing of information with heritage Page 3 of 84 Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes December 9, 2024 4 property owners as applicable; engaging with local hardware providers for discount opportunities; best practices in other municipalities; ineligible and retroactive projects; eligible applicants/owners of multiple properties; and grant funding from the Heritage Reserve Fund.

Informational Items None. 9. New Business The Committee requested an update on artefacts salvaged from 45 Tyler Street. Staff advised that artefacts are handled separately from the Salvage Program and any potentially eligible/significant pieces would be part of the separate Aurora Museum and Archives collection. The Committee remarked on the delegate’s comments about the need for an audit of Salvage Program items. Staff advised that the Heritage Advisory Committee and staff in 2017 determined that no remaining items in the program were deemed valuable for re-use and as such were disposed of, and no items have been collected since that time. With regard to future demolitions, staff further explained that the priority since 2017 has been to encourage re-use onsite, which is noted as a first priority in the Program Guide and a best practice, and that the Town can require a condition of approval to have an owner re-use any significant architectural feature as part of the new build onsite. The Committee provided an update on the co-op student heritage research pilot project. Members were encouraged to contact Cynthia Bettio and Adam Robb if they are aware of any high school student interested in participating. Page 4 of 84 Heritage Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes December 9, 2024 5 The Committee referred to the potential re-screening of the documentary film, Happy Woodland Pet Cemetery: Uncovering History, in the new year and advised that it would hopefully be viewed together with the 2015 pet cemetery documentary created by David Heard. The Committee provided an update on Victrolia Hall, being an analog research library, and advised that the historical analog music collection, including curated pieces directly connected to Aurora, now has a new home on Vata Court and anyone interested in viewing the collection may reach out to David Heard. It was further advised that related programs will be held at the Aurora Public Library this weekend and in 2025. The Committee expressed concerns with the current two-year term policy for committee membership and the potential loss of continuity. The Committee inquired about the possibility of salvaging items from the planned demolition of the Sisman Shoe Company building, and commented on the significance of Sisman’s history in Aurora and the need to preserve their story. Staff provided a response noting the OLT decision and potential further opportunity for review and commemoration at the site plan application stage. The Vice Chair expressed appreciation to the Committee members for their contributions over the past two years and extended best wishes for the season. 10.

That the memorandum regarding Heritage Permit Application HPA-2025-01 – Happy Woodland Pet Cemetery (14314-14378 Yonge Street) be received; and 2. That the Heritage Advisory Committee comments regarding Heritage Permit Application HPA-2025-01 be received and referred to staff for consideration and further action as appropriate. Background The Happy Woodland Pet Cemetery began under the ownership of the Blochin family. Victor Blochin was a prisoner of war in Germany, where during his capture, he became friends with another captive, Angus Campbell, the Lord of Dunstaffnage Castle in Scotland. After the war ended, Blochin moved with Campbell to Scotland to work as a gardener at the castle. Campbell was a breeder of West Highland White Terriers and gifted one to Blochin. By the 1920s, Blochin left for Canada, taking a number of Westie dogs with him. Blochin settled on the subject property and opened a kennel. Victor and his wife Anne began burying their beloved pets on the property, and over time others began too as well. The burials are marked by a number of various gravestones of all different sizes and materials. The property was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2023 and maintains a legacy as the first pet cemetery in Canada. Page 15 of 84 HPA-2025-01 – Happy Woodland Pet Cemetery February 3, 2025 Page 2 of 3 Analysis With the property now designated, alterations are to be reviewed by the Heritage Advisory Committee and receive Council approval. The proposed work is intended to continue to enhance the property through key restoration efforts that will preserve its historical significance and prepare for future public access. These efforts include the following: 1) Pathway Reconstruction  The original path stones have been uncovered and are partially restored, but the overall path system through the site remains incomplete. The proposed reconstruction with fieldstone and permeable foundations will ensure stability and longevity while complementing and preserving the original aesthetic. Reconstruction of the pathways is essential before any monument relocation can occur. 2) Monument Relocation and Restoration  During the later years of operation, approximately 140 monuments were relocated to grids A5 and A6. These will be redistributed throughout the cemetery. This relocation will follow identified patterns based on in-depth GPS data, starting in the less dense east side and moving westward, and prioritizing featured perimeters.  Archival footage from 1966 also reveals that many monuments, presently laid flat, were originally standing or leaning. These will be safely repositioned in line with the site’s original historic appearance. 3) Addressing Problematic Monuments  Six monuments feature inscriptions with racially offensive language. Recommendations for remediations include: a) Replacing the original monuments with modified replicas b) Re-engraving the blank side of the monuments with a modified inscription and then laying the problematic side face down c) Removing the offensive language from the existing monuments outright through sandblasting. Page 16 of 84 HPA-2025-01 – Happy Woodland Pet Cemetery February 3, 2025 Page 3 of 3 If the original monument is entirely removed, it should be returned to the earth or disposed of. These monuments will not be used for future exhibitions or programming. Feedback from the Heritage Advisory Committee is encouraged regarding a preferred method. 4) Landscape Maintenance and Design Elements  To prepare the site for future full public access, several landscaping improvements are needed: - Permanent seating and fencing - Interpretive signage - Tree Pruning and servicing - Decorative plantings - Retaining walls or other features for stabilizing the site These updates will ensure the property remains accessible, safe, and respectful of its historical significance. The recommended alterations as listed above are necessary to restore the site to its intended form. Feedback from the Heritage Advisory Committee is being sought to inform any additional considerations of the work that is proposed. Attachments 1. Attachment #1 – Summary of Restoration Work 2.

That the memorandum regarding Heritage Permit Application HPA-2025-02 – Aurora War Memorial and Cenotaph (14659 Yonge Street) be received; and 2. That the Heritage Advisory Committee comments regarding Heritage Permit Application HPA-2025-02 be received and referred to staff for consideration and further action as appropriate. Background The Aurora War Memorial property was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2008. The property is significant as it recognizes the sacrifices made by local heroes during the First and Second World Wars and other conflicts. The Cenotaph was constructed in 1925 out of granite and stands at 73 feet high. The Altar of Sacrifice was erected in 1960. The Aurora War Memorial and Peace Park has important contextual value as one of Aurora’s best-known landmarks. Analysis The designating by-law for the property recognizes protections for all inscriptions and engravings on the memorials, as well as for natural park elements. As such, the proposed inscription corrections and general park enhancements and preventative maintenance measures being considered are subject to review by the Heritage Advisory Committee and Council. Page 38 of 84 HPA-2025-02 – Aurora War Memorial and Cenotaph February 3, 2025 Page 2 of 2 An overview of the proposed work is as follows: 1) Correction of a Misspelled Name  Fred Luxon is listed on the memorial however his last name is misspelled as Luxton, which will be corrected (see supporting evidence under Attachment #1) 2) Correction of Medal Attribution  Wilfred Petermann has a Military Cross incorrectly attributed to his name, which will be corrected (see supporting evidence under Attachment #2) 3) Park Enhancements  Removal of the existing lock stone, re-levelling of the base, re-installation of the stones and spray/sealing of the asphalt pathways.  Addition of permanent seating by including 4 benches.  Electrical upgrades to supply additional lighting around the Korean War Memorial and Light Armoured Vehicle (LAV).  Re-fabrication and Replacement of wreath standards. 4) Preventative Conservation Maintenance  Touching up general painting or lead lettering, cleaning of masonry, etc. The Heritage Advisory Committee has the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed work prior to a future recommendation report being presented to Council. Attachments 1. Attachment #1 – Documentation on Spelling of Luxon 2. Attachment #2 – Documentation on Petermann 3. Attachment #3 – Consultant Summary of Work Page 39 of 84 Aurora War Memorial Alteration Proposal Private Fred Luxon, 3 March 1893 – 9 April 1917 (Age 24) Introduction Frederick (Fred) Luxon is one of the men from Aurora who died during World War I, and whose name appears on the Aurora War Memorial. Unfortunately, there is an error in the spelling of his surname, with a “T” added where there ought to be none, making his name appear “Luxton” on the memorial. We are proposing the removal of the letter “T” from his name and the re- centering (if necessary) of his name within the list of those commemorated on the memorial. Evidence for the Spelling of Luxon 1.Fred Luxon’s official documents show his name spelled correctly (see below for one outstanding example). These are clear throughout his file, including on his hand-signed attestation paper, Movement and Casualty Card as well as his Memorial Cross Card, all digitized by the Library and Archives Canada. See Example 1. 2.Fred Luxon’s first appearance in the Aurora Banner is November 5th, 1915, where he is on a list of soldiers from Aurora who are still “In Training.” He appears on this list each week through the end of the year, and into 1916, and is included on the final list published May 19th, 1916. For an unknown reason, he never appears on the associated “On Active Service” List which provided contact addresses for many locals who were at the front. These lists were printed weekly and stopped appearing in February of 1917. See Example 2. 3.Fred Luxon’s name was known correctly in his hometown: Washfield, North Devon, England. Fred appears on a list of men serving from Washfield, which was published Easter of 1917, seemingly the day before he was killed at Vimy. Similarly, Fred’s correct name appears twice on Washfield memorial plaques: one, a brass plaque at the local St. Mary’s Church, and another, a list of names carved in granite and affixed to the local “War Memorial Shelter.” See Example 3. 4.Fred Luxon’s official gravestone at the Givenchy Road Canadian Cemetery in France, as designed and produced by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, shows his name spelled correctly. These memorial stones were placed between 1921 and 1927, and used internal military data for names, ranks, and honours awarded. See Example 4. Attachment 1 Page 40 of 84 Aurora War Memorial Alteration Proposal Private Fred Luxon, 3 March 1893 – 9 April 1917 (Age 24) Print Errors, Assumptions and Repetition 1. Even early in Fred Luxon’s military career, his name was already being misspelt. On one of his official documents, which we will call the “Initial CEF Pay & Promotions Card” his name was spelled with the “T” and later corrected in pencil. See Example 5. 2. The name Luxon appears to be a rare variant of the more common Luxton. Luxon has about 25% of the number of Luxtons recorded in the 1911 Census. In Aurora, the local Salvation Army Captain was George William Luxton, who was mentioned by surname in the Banner twice in 1916 (March 31st and June 23rd). The publishers of the Aurora Banner likely conflated the two names to produce the error. See Example 6. 3. Fred Luxon’s death was reported in the Banner on the 11th of May, more than a month after he had died. In this report, his name has received the incorrect spelling Luxton. A similar notice, printed days earlier in the Toronto Star May 8th, 1917, also includes the Luxton misspelling. This error was reprinted each week in the Banner on Aurora’s Honor Roll, through the end of the war and to late August 1919. See Example 7. 4. The list of names proposed to be included on the planned War Memorial was generated at a February 1923 meeting of the War Memorial Association and recorded in their minutes. This list was published regularly in the Aurora Banner, with a request for corrections, beginning December 19, 1924. Luxton appears each week, and while other names with errors receive corrections over time, none are applied to Fred’s name. This error persists through the vetting process and results in the final error on the memorial. See Example 8. 5. Finally, this repeated error has travelled through many lists, resulting in the incorrect Luxton name being selected for an Aurora street - Luxton Avenue, in the 1990s. We believe this should also be changed but appreciate the difficulty and public nature of doing so. See Example 9.

Unfortunately, there is an error in the postnominal letters that appear after his name, falsely attributing to him a Military Cross medal. We are proposing the removal of the postnominal letters “M.C.” and the re-centering of his name within the list of those commemorated on the memorial. The Military Cross is a medal awarded for valour in combat, and was instituted early in World War I, for “an act or acts of exemplary gallantry during active operations against the enemy on land” and was reserved for officers (Captain or lower, until June 1917 when temporary Majors were added) in the British, Canadian and Australian armies. Maj. Petermann was “Mentioned in Dispatches,” meaning his name had been submitted by a senior officer in recognition of an action or behaviour that did not meet the level of one of the conduct or gallantry medals. The reporting of this would often take months to appear, and Petermann’s M.I.D. appears in the Supplement to the London Gazette from January 4, 1917, over 3 months after his death. Evidence against the Military Cross award 1.None of Wilfred Petermann’s official records denote that he was awarded a Military Cross. Medals won by a soldier or officer are typically noted on several documents in their record, including the “Record of Service”, “Casualty Form”, and the “Medals and Decorations” forms. The awarding of the medal (with a London Gazette entry date) would be noted in the dated columns on the former two documents, and the medals’ postnominals would be appended to the soldier’s name on at least the three named forms. See Example 1 for Petermann compared with Kenneth Campbell M.C., who was also from Aurora, and who verifiably received a Military Cross. 2.Wilfred Petermann’s official gravestone at the Albert Communal Cemetery Extension in France, as designed and produced by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, does not include any postnominals. These memorial stones were placed between 1921 and 1927, and used internal military data for names, ranks, and honours awarded. The Albert Communal Cemetery catalogue includes some details about Petermann, and no mention is made of a medal. See Example 2. 3.Military Cross medals were only very rarely awarded posthumously, and then only for actions that were recommended before the recipient’s death. M.C.s were also unavailable to Temporary Majors, Petermann’s rank at the time of his death, until at least June of 1917. Any MC would necessarily have been awarded before his promotion in July of 1916, with no evidence to suggest this happened in his military records, or the public record, the London Gazette. 4.A list of soldiers’ names on the Cenotaph in Cobalt, Ontario, bears Petermann’s name (albeit misspelt with a single “n”) although none of the listed names show any postnominals, so it is not known whether the organizers of this memorial believed Petermann won an M.C. See Example 3. 5.The 13th Battalion’s history, published in 1925 includes an honour roll (those who died in action), with earned postnominals included. Petermann’s name appears without any postnominals. The book also includes a complete list of medals won by men of the Battalion. Petermann’s name does not appear on the list of Military Cross recipients. See Example 4. Attachment 2 Page 52 of 84 Aurora War Memorial Alteration Proposal Major Wilfred Ferrier Petermann, 8 May 1888 – 26 Sept. 1916 (Age 28) Print Errors, Assumptions and Repetition 1. The first mention of Petermann’s Military Cross appears in the Aurora Banner, January 12, 1917, where “M.C.” has been added for the first time to his name on the Honour Roll of war dead. This follows the London Gazette publication of his “Mentioned in Dispatches” award by one week. See Example 4. 2. The following week, January 17th, a notice about Petermann’s M.I.D. appears in the paper, and is followed by the claim “He was always loved and respected by his men, and his bravery won him a recommendation for the Military Cross, and now a mention in dispatches.” See Example 5. 3. Two months later, March 9th, 1917, a letter sent to Petermann’s mother, from Colonel M.D. Graham, Assistant Military Secretary, is printed in the Aurora Banner. The colonel uses the MC postnominal and is the only semi-official source that seems to do so. At the end of the reprint of the letter, a note added by the editor gives Petermann two postnominals –M.C. and D.C.O. – the latter being award that did not and does not exist. That same week in the Banner, the “Honor Roll” begins shows “M.C., D.C.O.” which remain on the list every week until the roll was no longer printed in the paper, in late August 1919. See Example 6. 4. The further incorrect postnominal is given to Petermann in an early 1918 Banner article, but this is most likely attributed to a writer on staff who knew that D.C.O. wasn’t a typical medal and changed it to D.S.O. (Distinguished Service Order). There is no record of Major Petermann receiving a D.S.O., which were only awarded to Lieutenant-Colonels or those of higher rank until the 1940s. See Example 7. 5. One of the few extant photos of Wilfred Petermann shows him as a young man in a highlander’s uniform, with two medals on his chest. The photo appears to be heavily hand-altered and retouched, including the medals. The individual medals are unidentifiable, except that the medal of first prominence worn is a cross that does not match the shape of the Military Cross. See Example 8a. The image of an authentic MC is included, as well as an example group of medals matching what he was awarded, with the 1914-15 star (as noted in Example 1, page 4). This photo is puzzling and may have been commissioned by Petermann’s family after his death. Another photo of Petermann, which appears on Ancestry.com has a handwritten inscription that includes the M.C. postnominal. The provenance of this photo is unknown. See Example 8b. 6. The list of names proposed to be included on the planned Aurora War Memorial was generated at a February 1923 meeting of the War Memorial Association and recorded in their minutes. This list was published regularly in the Aurora Banner, with a request for corrections, beginning December 19, 1924. This initial list does not yet include any postnominals, but the final list published June 12, 1925 has them added, including Petermann’s erroneous M.C. See Example 9.
