What the status means

Designated individually under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by a City by-law. Altering the heritage attributes, or demolishing, needs the City's consent.

Whether a specific alteration needs a heritage permit is the City’s call; ask its heritage planning staff before starting work. The designating by-law (98-126-H) sets out what is protected; the City can provide it.
