The purpose of the Queen’s Park Heritage Conservation Area is to retain the existing heritage values of the neighbourhood while, at the same time, managing change.

In January 2021, the president of the Queens Park Residents Association approached City Council to ask about a newly installed chain-link fence, stating “I, like most of the directors on the QPRA, thought that chain-link fences were simply a non-starter.”
