‘There just wasn’t enough time to save it’: Unique-looking log house demolished in Barrie

Aug 17, 2021 , , , , by shlf

Logwood House is part of Barrie’s history now.

The unique-looking log house on Henry Street was torn down by the Ministry of Transportation Sept. 29, to make room for the eventual reconstruction of a Highway 400 interchange at Dunlop Street.

Sandra Lawrence-Trottier, whose grandparents Grace and Wally Lawrence built the home by hand in the 1940s, was permitted access to the property for about a week leading up to the demolition. She took good advantage of the opportunity — removing plants and rocks from the garden and salvaging several handcrafted doors.

She also removed a small bathroom window that was broken but had been built by hand. It holds fond memories from childhood, when Lawrence-Trottier’s grandmother would hold her up to the window to see a robin, which built a nest and laid eggs on the sill every year.

“I did the best I could do under the circumstances; I think I broke all of my family’s backs,” she said. “There just wasn’t enough time to save it. They’re not doing the highway for another couple of years. But because of all the vagrants and things that were going on in that house, it just had to come down. If I had just a bit more time, we would have been able to come to a resolution. But it wasn’t mean to be.”

Logwood was inherited by Grace and Wally’s son, George, who in turn gave it to his six children in 2004.

The siblings chose to sell the home soon after because they all live in Waterloo Region.

But it is believed the house had been used for squatting recently. During a visit to the property , Simcoe.com observed knobs for the back door were removed and a screen had been taken off its hinges. Inside, there were cardboard boxes set up like tables and a bed sat in the corner.

Though demolition is an undesired outcome for Lawrence-Trottier, she is thankful for the co-operation shown by the ministry and the demolition company.

“It is what it is,” she said. “That’s progress, I guess.”

‘Raising the alarm for weeks now’: Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority concerned about looming decision

Aug 4, 2021 , , , , by shlf

Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) Board chair Wayne Emmerson isn’t mincing words when it comes to what he sees as a threat to the environment.

He released a statement Dec. 5 sharing his disappointment as the province steps closer to amending the Conservation Authorities Act.

“LSRCA has been raising the alarm for weeks now,” Emmerson said in a press release.

A month ago, the province introduced Bill 229 — the .

In particular, Schedule 6 of the bill is proposing changes that limit the power of conservation authorities.

It would limit their ability to enter land for surveying, expropriate land as required and study the watershed for ways it can be restored, developed and managed.

After seeing the proposal, several municipalities, MPPs and environmental organizations spoke out in opposition.

Conservation Ontario also made a .

So the province amended some of its changes, making the announcement Dec. 4.

But the changes don’t go far enough, Emmerson said.

“In fact, we understand that new changes have now been introduced that will force conservation authorities to contravene our mandate to protect people, infrastructure and the environment,” Emmerson wrote.

“If the province proceeds, LSRCA will be forced to issue permits to allow for development to proceed, through Ministers Zoning Orders, regardless of the impacts to the environment and our communities,” he wrote. “This action will dismantle the very system put in place since Hurricane Hazel in 1954, to keep our communities healthy and out of harm’s way from flooding and other hazards created by poor land-use planning.”

Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA) chair Keith White agreed the new changes don’t go far enough to prevent flooding and erosion in his watershed area.

“With the new changes, conservation authorities are basically the only landowners in Ontario who cannot appeal most planning decisions, which affect their lands,” White wrote in his press release. “We are the second-largest landowners in Ontario, and this is in conflict with one of the proposed mandatory programs for conservation authorities, which is to manage their own lands to protect sensitive ecosystems.

Schedule 6 is set to go to third and final reading in the legislature Dec. 7.
