Property Committee report. Mr. Raymond referred to his report published in AGM 2009 FHF. He highlighted the goals established to complete the Brock Street property development and how much funding was needed to finish the job. He was confident the development would be completed and added that a plaque will be mounted on the building. It was moved by Mr. Raymond, seconded by Andrew Hill and passed that the property committee report be accepted. 7. Membership Committee report. Mr. Shaw highlighted his report on p. 14 of AGM 2009 FHF. He described why the Foundation wants more members and what in turn the Foundation does for them. He highlighted the current numbers and the challenges of keeping old members and attracting new ones. He was pleased to see many new members and many renewals. He thanked Stephen Arnold for maintenance of the membership records. It was moved by Mr. Shaw, seconded by Carynne Arnold and passed that the membership committee report be accepted. 6. Awards Committee report. Mr. Crothers drew member’s attention to a summary of award committee activities found on pp. 12-13 of AGM 2009 FHF. He observed that there was a great range of buildings that had been recognised. This range included 66 Main Street which among many attributes exemplified the effort a restoration takes for a limestone building. At the other end of spectrum was the three year, $17 million restoration of the Grand Theatre by the City of Kingston and very deserving of recognition because of the challenges and enormity of the project. He added that the awards ceremony was held at the Renaissance Event Venue at 285 Queen Street. This restoration of Kingston’s oldest church structure simultaneously added to downtown living, profit making and downtown life. Finally, Mr. Crothers drew attention to the award made to Sandy MacLachlan, founder and life member of the Foundation. He was also founder of the MacLachlan Woodworking Museum and a beloved citizen. It was moved by Mr. Crothers, seconded by Mr. Black and passed that the awards committee report be accepted. 8. Watch Committee report. Mr. Christianson highlighted the City of Kingston study of the Old Sydenham Ward in which Foundation member Jennifer McKendry was a major contributor. He also pointed to the wonderful, City of Kingston created building history brochures. His committee was still watching closely developments concerning the Tett Building. It was moved by Lily Inglis, seconded by Cynthia Nute and passed that the watch committee report be accepted. 9. Communications Committee report. Mr. Shaw pointed to his report on p. 17 of AGM 2009 FHF that outlined what his committee was doing to bring the Foundation’s mission to the public. He and fellow committee members, Mary Myers and Andrew Hill, were always looking for more ideas. The biggest committee effort was in publishing Foundations, the newsletter of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation. One issue had been published this year and three more were anticipated. It was moved by Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 4 Mr. Shaw, seconded by Bill Higginson and carried that the communications committee report be accepted. 12. Approval of the actions of the Board since the last AGM. It was moved by Don Smithies, seconded by Carynne Arnold and carried that the actions of the Board since the last AGM be accepted. 10. Program Committee Report. Mr. Hill emphasised the central function of the program of membership events previously run by Stephen and Carynne Arnold. Four events have been held so far this year including tours of 67 Colborne, the Princess of Wale Regiment armoury and the Hochelaga Inn. A presentation on the Outer Station was also made by Ron Smith. Very good member turnouts were experienced. He requested that members make the committee members aware of venue ideas. It was moved by Mr. Hill, seconded by Don Smithies and passed that the program committee report be accepted. 13. Nomination and election of the Board of Directors A) Nominating committee report—Paul Christianson. Mr. Christianson said the biographies of the nominees can be found on p. 22 of the AGM 2009 FHF.

He has been a FHF member since 2001 and Chair of the Kingston Municipal Heritage Committee since 2004. 11. By-Law amendments—Stephen Arnold. - Ed Grenda taught at Queen’s and York Universities. He is a member of the Kingston Historical Society and very involved at the Murney Tower, Cataraqui Cemetery ceremony and Lower Burial Ground Restoration Society. a) Mr. Hill said the two additional Board members will have the effect of spreading the work load in addition to adding more talent to the Board. It was moved by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Mr. Hill and carried that the Board size be increased from ―10‖ to ―10 to 12‖ directors. - Floyd Patterson spent 43 years at CKWS and a 3-year term on City Council. He lives in Sydenham Ward and his hobby is gardening.

B) Call for additional nominations and election: Mr. Christianson asked for further nominations from the floor. None were made. It was moved by Mr. Hill, Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 5 seconded by Mr. Black and carried that nominations cease. Mr. Christianson declared Messrs. Gower, Grenda and Patterson elected to the Board of Directors. 14. AGM 2010—Date and place. Mr. Christianson reported that next year’s AGM would be held on the second Tuesday in May at a venue to be announced. 14. Motion to adjourn.

Refreshments were then served and followed by a 20-minute illustrated talk on Elizabeth Cottage. Respectfully submitted, Stephen J. Arnold Secretary Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 6 PRESIDENT’S REPORT T he last year has been a very busy one for members of the Frontenac Heritage Foundation’s Board of Directors. Each Director has played an important and valuable role in the discussions that have dominated our meetings since May of 2009. And, together, Board members continue to work on projects, organize events, and advance causes, that reflect the interests of the membership at large. The Board has been particularly lucky in having been able to draw on the expertise provided by its newest members. Ed Grenda and Floyd Patterson have brought new skills, experiences, and connections to the community, that the Board has quickly come to rely upon. The same must be said of Peter Gower, whose role as the Chair of the Kingston Municipal Heritage Committee has also enabled the Foundation to stay abreast of local heritage matters. While new members have become assets, we were sorry to hear, last February, that John Black had decided, after much thought, not to continue with his position on the Board. The time that John has contributed to the Foundation, and his much-sought advice, will be greatly missed. The Foundation continues to operate on a sound financial basis with the help of its Treasurer, David Shurtleff. Each month David provides a thorough and comprehensive report on the Foundation’s financial activities. We owe a great deal to David for his continued commitment to heritage, and to the FHF, while providing us with a level of expertise that is the envy of every organization. We are grateful that past-President Paul Christianson continues to play an active role on the Board of Directors. He also continues to be a highly-respected spokesperson of both the Foundation, and of the heritage community in general. Paul has represented the FHF to the public on many occasions, and his role as Chair of the Awards Committee was well-illustrated last October, at our 2009 Heritage Restoration Awards. His leadership in the organization and presentation of this memorable event was just another example of how the Foundation has, and continues to, benefit from Paul’s leadership as a Director of the Foundation. Robert Crothers was the Awards Committee’s prior chair, and he is a continuing, active member of that committee. He has researched, evaluated, and written on these properties on such a professional level that it would be hard to imagine what would happen without him around! The Board was Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 7 happy to hear that Rob has accepted the role of Chair of the Property Committee. Overseeing the business associated with the Foundation’s Brock Street property is a huge task. And, along with Rob’s other commitments, is a strong illustration of Rob’s dedication to heritage. As a Foundation member, a lot of what you have read about heritage has been made possible by Mary Myers. Mary continues to design and edit Foundations. She works under incredible time commitments, and the compliments on Mary’s work still come in on a regular basis. Foundations is also made possible by Marc Shaw. Marc’s impressive collection of old postcards and photos are not just the envy of every Kingston historian: they are a big source of Foundations articles as well. Marc continues to provide insightful articles and commentaries based on these, and other sources, making Foundations a valuable read. Both Marc and Mary have been active in the Program Committee, as has Lynne Warren. In addition to Board activities, Lynne has been the backbone of the Foundation’s Speaker and Tour Series. We all owe a special thanks to Lynne for the making these events a success. (And, no, we still can’t figure out the coffee maker!) Respectfully submitted, Andrew J. Hill President Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 8 TREASURER’S REPORT T he completion of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. I am pleased to report that the financial statements for the Frontenac Heritage Foundation report a strong financial position at the end of the year. The results are summarized as follows: 2009 2008 Total Assets Total Liabilities $533,132 8,805 $505,958 10,276 Net Assets or Fund Balances $524,327 $495,682 $306,606 (11,728) 232,439 $524,327 $303,606 (34,850) 226,916 $495,682 Fund Balances Investment in capital assets Internally restricted (deficiency) Unrestricted The operations for the year ended with an excess of revenue over expenses in the general account of $5,523 which was achieved through the careful monitoring of expenses while carrying out the programs without compromise. The property account generated an excess of revenue over expenses of $23,122. This was made possible by substantially full occupancy of the rental units and maintenance was restricted to normal repairs with no major renovations or restoration to the property. The surplus is being accumulated to finance future restoration that are in the planning stage. We feel that the foundation is financial sound and in an excellent position to carry out it programs and plans for the future. Respectfully submitted, David Shurtleff Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 9 T he Frontenac Heritage Foundation is the proud owner of a circa 1820 property addressed as 62, 64 and 66 Brock St., just west of the Springer Market Square in downtown Kingston. T h i s m i x e d - u s e property was donated to the Foundation for its safe keeping. It has two main level retail stores and three residential units on the second and third floors. It is situated in a block of heritage designated buildings and although it may be small in comparison with some of its three storey neighbours across the street, we are very proud that our building is a key character defining element in a comfortably scaled urban environment. W e believe our building to be the last remaining tradesman’s shop in the downtown portion of Kingston and that it is our responsibility to ensure it to continues to act as a link to Kingston’s continuing history of development into a sustainable and liveable city. More specifically, the Property Committee is charged with the responsibility of managing this income property and preserving this designated structure for the benefit of the Foundation and it’s occupants. To that end the we continue to ensure it receives the proper preventative maintenance. The woodwork on the shop fronts was painted last fall and some minor adjustments were made to ensure smooth operation of several doors and windows. The bricks that had been toothed together with those of our neighbour have been separated to avoid a potential dispute should differential settlement occur and there has been resolution of a minor encroachment of the garbage enclosure in the rear yard. One minor property issue remains to be resolved where a closet wall crosses the property line and it is uncertain if the supporting footings do the same. An important principle of the Foundation’s property strategy has already been achieved in that each property must stand on its own merits. We are pleased to report the building is more than supporting itself financially and there is a slowly growing surplus in the property account. Our intent has always been to husband these funds and leverage them in the pursuit of matching grants so the sagging rear wall could be straightened and the designs for the annex and roof dormers could be completed. The fine tuning of our strategy, a scope of achievable work, a budget and schedule for that next challenges is ongoing. Meanwhile, the loan made to the property account by the foundation is being repaid with interest and continues to be a worthwhile investment. In conclusion, I would like to thank all of the members of our committee for their ongoing participation and in particular our past Property Chair Mr. Marc Raymond for leaving the property in such reasonable condition. Please support our retail tenants, as you visit downtown Kingston Respectfully submitted, Robert J. Crothers Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 10 Photo J. McKendry PROPERTY REPORT AWARDS COMMITTEE REPORT S ince 1982, the Frontenac Heritage Foundation (FHF) has been actively encouraging the preservation and retention of our local building stock by providing heritage conservation awards to owners, designers and builders. Many significant buildings and some lesser-known projects within the boundaries of Kingston, the County of Frontenac and Loyalist Township have been recognized in this fashion over the past 27 years. Each year, aided by interested FHF members, the Awards Committee reviews nominated restoration, renovation, and repair projects to heritage sites with the intent of identifying those that it considers worthy of recognition. ―Certificates of Commendation‖ are prepared and presented to the property owners or initiators who are primarily responsible for the concept, implementation and financing of the preservation effort. ―Certificates of Appreciation‖ are presented to those designers and builders who have applied their time and skills in preserving the selected buildings. The Committee considers the architectural design and physical value of a structure and whether it is a rare or unique example of a style or type of construction and/or whether it exhibits a high degree of craftsmanship. Associations with historical events and people considered as is the contextual value of the building and whether or not the project contributes to defining, maintaining, or supporting the historic character of an area. In 2007, the Frontenac Heritage Foundation initiated the Margaret Angus Award for outstanding heritage service in the greater Kingston area. In 2009, the Frontenac Heritage Foundation initiated Certificates of Appreciation for Exceptional Service to the Frontenac Heritage Foundation and awarded them to: Stephen J. Arnold, our Secretary from 2003 to 2009 and the organizer and coordinator of our very popular lecture and tour series, and Marc Raymond, our Vice President from 2007-9 and chair of the Property Committee from 2001-09, who brought his expertise as a businessman and heritage restorer to the heavy burden of overseeing all aspects of our property at 62-66 Brock Street. In 2009, the Award was given to George Muirhead, a founder of the Frontenac Historic Foundation and long chair of our Awards Committee, a pioneer in the movement to preserve our built heritage as City Planner for the City of Kingston, and an enabler of the compilation of an inventory of buildings of architectural and historic interest that resulted in the publication of seven published volumes of designated properties from the City of Kingston. Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 11 Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 12 Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 13 MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE REPORT M emberships and donations comprise a very important source of funding for the Frontenac Heritage Foundation. Moreover, a large and active membership bolsters and lends credibility to our role as a leading advocate of heritage in this region. The receipt of donations and gifts is gratefully acknowledged, and, as a registered charity, the FHF can issue tax receipts for such gifts. Membership is open to all individuals, businesses and corporations interested in the aims and objectives of the Foundation; new members are continually sought and made welcome. The Membership Committee is mainly visible at the "welcome desk" at Foundation functions, greeting members, recording attendance and issuing name badges. Renewals and new memberships can also be taken at this time. Monies received and contact information are shared with our Accountant and Secretary so that our membership records are kept up-to-date. Members receive regular emails from our Secretary giving advance notice and reminders of Foundation activities and other matters of general interest. Please make sure that we have your current email address on file. The success of our excellent speaker series and large attendance at many Foundation functions is, unfortunately, challenged by the numbers. Our current membership, comprising paid up, Life and Institutional memberships, stands at 97. A year ago at this time, I reported that this number was 121…a 20% drop. Sadly, even as we have attracted new members over the past year, many past members have not renewed. We have sent reminder letters and emails, mailed out courtesy copies of ―Foundations‖ to lapsed members as a reminder, and with our next mailing, we are about to make a lastditch effort to reach out to non-renewing members from the past two years. We hope to draw these lapsed members back into the fold. The process of recruiting new members and maintaining existing ones are ongoing challenges for any organization, especially for a heritage organization in a city with many heritage groups, and during a period of economic turmoil. The Membership Committee would appreciate any suggestions, comments or concerns re membership. Respectfully submitted, Marc Shaw Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 14 WATCH COMMITTEE REPORT This report will be given verbally at the AGM. The FHF greatly acknowledges the work of Committee members: Paul Christianson Helen Finley Peter Gower Marc Shaw Please use this space to take notes: Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 15 COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE REPORT T he Communications Committee is comprised of Ed Grenda, Andrew Hill, Mary Myers Marc Shaw and Lynne Warren. Our role is to keep the FHF membership and the general public informed about Foundation activities, and to create initiatives that increase membership and the value of being a member. Representing the Foundation at outside venues. Planning future initiatives (stay tuned for more information in 2010!) Ongoing maintenance of the Foundation Our Committee's work has included the following during 2009: website at www.heritagekingston.com Respectfully submitted, Mary Myers Printing and distributing of our newsletter, Foundations. In 2009, there were three editions: Vol. 36, Number 1, Vol. 36, Numbers 2 and 3 (a large doubleissue) and Vol. 36, Number 4. The Committee meets regularly to map out the format and content of upcoming issues. We are always happy to receive suggestions and content. All contributors, especially the work submitted by Andrew Hill and Marc Shaw's Editor is gratefully acknowledged. Printing and distributing of other Foundation publications, such as the annual Heritage Restoration Awards document. Annual General Meeting 2010 Frontenac Heritage Foundation 16 PROGRAM COMMITTEE REPORT HERITAGE SPEAKER & TOURS SERIES REPORT T he Program Committee remains focused on providing events for its Speaker and Tour Series that are both entertaining and educational. We have had continued success with this program over the past year, and we hope that members have enjoyed the venues we have offered. One of our objectives has been to provide a variety of different types of venues. As such we have enjoyed presentations on, and tours of, members’ homes. Examples include David Gaensbauer’s talk on his 226 King Street home last December, and a tour of FHF Board member David Shurtleff’s home back in June. More strictly educational events have included Patrick Jenkins’ talk on Heritage Masonry in March, and our tour of Queen’s University Archives last November. And then of course there are our seasonal outings, such as our walking tour of Bath, our visit to Hay Bay Church, and our trip to Balleycanoe just last month. All of these events continue to draw a consistent crowd. On average we tend to get about 20 people for each event. But it should be noted that a good number of these are regular attendees. We feel that, given the amount of time and energy devoted to the Speaker and Tour Series, and given the Foundation’s membership base, this average number could be higher. So we strongly encourage any feedback you may have regarding the program. We are always open to event suggestions, and we have tried – in most cases successfully – to incorporate these into our program in the past. Another thing we can do is to get the word out better. We try to give members notice of events by email, announcements in Foundations, and by distributing a brochure at the beginning of each year (or very nearly so!). But please let us know if you feel that some members are not receiving proper notification. Reaching a broader audience is important too. In the past we have found that announcing events by means of free local listings, such as websites and newspapers, has produced no discernable effect. So this year we also produced a colour brochure that we have been distributing to places like branches of the Kingston Frontenac Public Library, local coffee shops, City Hall, and the Cataraqui Archaeological Research Foundation. It is probably too early to tell if this measure will be successful, but we are hoping that this is one way in which we can get the word out better. Over the next year the Program Committee will continue to strive to provide FHF members with that are tailored to inform, educate, and provide a means for members to socialize on a regularly basis.
