The Kichener Heritage Committee is expected to evaluate a number of modifications to the Boathouse in Victoria Park, according to a press statement from the city.
It said that the proposal from the new tenants, Walkinshaw Holdings, at the historic site includes an addition to the west façade of the building to accommodate a new washroom, a cantilevered patio extending over a portion of Victoria Park Lake, as well as adjustments to windows and doors, including a new building entrance.
The company’s heritage assessment, according to the city, determined that the changes won’t have an effect on the Victoria Park Neighborhood Heritage Conservation District.
It noted that the proposal also included measures such as planter beds, making sure the changes were compatible with the current structure and the installation of a commemorative plaque.
According to Kitchener, the proposal by Walkinshaw Holdings, which is made up of a well-known collection of local business owners, calls for having at least twice a week of paid local live music as well as food and drink that is produced nearby.
