REPAIRS OK'D AT LOCAL RESTAURANT
The Hart House Restaurant, located in Avalon, the Frederick and Alice Hart residence at Deer Lake Park, will have part of its exterior replaced.
The repairs on the heritage building were approved at a recent council meeting.
The deterioration of some of the building's decorative elements was discovered during a re-roofing project last year, according to a staff report.
The damage requires the reconstruction of parts of the exterior, including the building's parapets.
The city, which owns the building, is covering the cost of the repairs with funds set aside in the 2012 capital plan, the report stated.

The group works to promote acceptance of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning community in a number of different linguistic and cultural circles, including the Chinese, Korean, Punjabi and Iranian communities, according to the report.
