Heritage Committee to weigh in on Confederation Bridge plan in Smiths Falls

The Smiths Falls Municipal Heritage Committee is getting a seat at the table in the discussions around the Confederation Bridge replacement.

Councilor Peter McKenna thinks it’ll be good to include the committee in a consultation role during discussions.

The Heritage Committee originally asked to pick the design themselves and proposed a bowstring truss bridge, but the town views them more in a statutory role on historically designated properties than the decision makers.
