NOTICES
NOTICE OF REQUEST TO REPEAL HERITAGE DESIGNATING BY-LAW – 430 Grey Street - Request by Trustees of the London Congregation of the British Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada to Repeal the Heritage Designating By-law for the Property (Beth Emmanuel British Methodist Episcopal Church) - TAKE NOTICE THAT the City of London has received a request at the initiation of the representative of the property owner to repeal By-law No. L.S.P.-2657-240 which designates 430 Grey Street under Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act: The Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O.1990, c. O.18 as amended, provides that an owner of property designated under the Ontario Heritage Act may apply to Municipal Council to repeal the by-law or part thereof designating the property.
Description of Property: 430 Grey Street, London, ON, N6B 1H3, legally described as PT LT 12 , N/E GREY STREET , BEING THE E 1/2 ; LONDON (PIN: 08316-0112).
Historical Reasons for Designation in By-law No. L.S.P.-2657-240 - The congregation of the British Methodist Episcopal Church, then known as the African Methodist Church, was organized at some time prior to September 1856, at which time it was holding service in a building on Thames Street. Sometime between 1868 and 1871, the present Beth Emmanuel B.M.E. Church, a white brick Gothic Revival structure, was erected at 430 Grey Street. In later years, the building was raised for the construction of a basement.
Beth-Emmanuel is the oldest surviving black church in London. At the time the congregation was founded, the City had a large and prosperous black community, many of whom had escaped from slavery in the United States via the Underground Railroad. Some had lived in the area since the Wilberforce settlement was established in Lucan in 1832. Some of the names associated with the Beth-Emmanuel congregation are noteworthy: John Brown, the abolitionist, preached at the Thames Street Church in 1858, before his ill-fated raid on Harper’s Ferry the following year. Richard B. Harrison, who plated the leading role in Marc Connelly’s “Green Pastures” (1930), attended this church as did his brother, The Reverend William Harrison. In more recent times, the late Paul Lewis, one of London’s best-loved citizens, was an official of the congregation.
Additional information is available by contacting a City of London Heritage Planner, 519-930-3500, heritage@london.ca.
Any person who objects to the application may, within 30 days after the date of this Notice, serve on the Clerk’s office, a Notice of Objection in writing, setting out the reasons for the objection and all relevant facts. Objections can be mailed to the Office of the City Clerk, or via e-mail at cityclerk@london.ca. A Notice of Objection is then considered by Municipal Council in its deliberation on this matter following consultation with the Community Advisory Committee on Planning (the City’s municipal heritage committee) and a public participation meeting held at Planning and Environment Committee (PEC). A decision of Municipal Council may be appealed by submitting a Notice of Appeal with the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) and the Municipal Clerk. More details on the appeal process can be found at Ontario Lands Tribunal Appeals Process webpage.
Notice of Objections must be filed in writing with the Clerk’s office by May 11, 2026. The Office of the City Clerk, 3rd floor, City Hall, 300 Dufferin Avenue, London, ON, N6B 1Z2; or cityclerk@london.ca.
NOTICE OF STUDY COMPLETION – Meadowlily Road Area Municipal Class Environmental Assessment - The City of London has completed a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (EA) Study to identify and evaluate alternative sanitary servicing solutions and select a preferred servicing strategy for the study area. The study considered various options, including the potential construction and location of a new municipal sanitary pumping station, as well as alternative alignments for a multi-use pathway along the Meadowlily Road corridor.
The project was completed in accordance with Schedule ‘B of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (October 2000, as amended in 2007. 2011, 2015 and 2023). As such, consultation with the public, technical agencies, and Indigenous communities played a key role in developing the study recommendations.
A Project File Report (PFR) documenting the planning process undertaken, details of the study recommendations as well as potential impacts and mitigation measures, has been completed and by this Notice is being placed in the public record for review. The PFR will be available for review for 30 days, starting April 9, 2026, and ending May 9, 2026, at London City Hall – City Clerk 3rd Floor (300 Dufferin Avenue) during regular hours of operation Monday to Friday, and at the London Public Library – Pond Mills Branch (1166 Commissioners Rd E, London, ON N5Z 4W8) during regular hours of operation.
The City of London and MTE Consultants acknowledge the project falls within the traditional and Treaty territories of several First Nations in Southwestern Ontario. We also recognize the historic and current use of this area. We welcome any comments you may have.
