The Township of Brock's heritage plaque program recognizes the historical and heritage significance of eligible buildings and properties within our community. The plaque includes the:

  • Date the building was constructed
  • The original/notable owner
  • Occupation of the original/notable owner

Apply for a Heritage Plaque

To request a heritage plaque, complete the Heritage Plaque Application form and drop it off to the municipal office located at:

1 Cameron St.
Cannington, ON L0E 1E0

You will need to include the following information in your application package:

  • A current photograph of the building
  • Documentation of historical information (such as property deeds, historic photos, maps, census data, etc.)
  • A cheque for $75 payable to the Township of Brock

If your home was built before 1910, you are eligible for a heritage plaque. We will consider buildings constructed after 1910 if they have exceptional heritage characteristics, such as:

  • Architectural significance
